God and Aaron

Num 17:25-18:6         11/26/2017

Although God had principally spoken to Aaron through Moses, or else in the presence of Moses, God began to speak to Aaron directly. In this conversation, He formally “gives” the service of the Levites to Aaron as a gift.

Being alone with God.

Always Moses around. First as a messenger of God’s word to Aaron and others. Later, as co-recipient of God’s messages. Now God is speaking directly and plainly to Aaron – no one else is around.

Intimidating.

Listening Prayer: It’s really easy it is to sit and “listen” with no real anticipation of hearing. I’m OK with taking a little vacation from the droning stream of objects made ever present to me by my brain.

But am I really ready to hear this word when it comes?

I suppose it’s about capacity. We all live, at least to some extent, in God’s grace. But who is prepared to act on it?
