REVEALED WORD TODAY

// Read: Numbers 25:6-13 //
6 But one of the Israeli men insolently brought a Midianite girl into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the door of the Tabernacle. 7 When Phinehas (son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest) saw this, he jumped up, grabbed a spear, 8 and rushed after the man into his tent, where he had taken the girl. He thrust the spear all the way through the man’s body and into her stomach. So the plague was stopped, 9 but only after 24,000 people had already died.

10-11 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Phinehas (son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest) has turned away my anger for he was angry with my anger, and would not tolerate the worship of any God but me. So I have stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended. 12-13 Now because of what he has done—because of his zeal for his God, and because he has made atonement for the people of Israel by what he did—I promise that he and his descendants shall be priests forever.”

MEDITATION:
This is a graphic illustration of how God adds other things to the lives of those who seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Phinehas was zealous for the Lord Almighty and destroyed the offenders. God made a covenant of peace with him; he and his descendant will have a covenant of lasting priesthood (generational blessing). Your responsibility is to hearken to His commands; it is God’s responsibility to add the rest.

PRAYER: Pray that God will show you areas where you can begin to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness today.
