Leviticus 10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.
Several critically important points must be noted in the above scriptures, for they contain lessons, and instructions the results of which would have eternal consequences. We begin with verse 6, in which God commanded Aaron and his family not to even cry or show sorrow at the demise of his sons. Why would God command them not to cry?
Folks should have clear concepts of what it means to obey God, for in our day, a watered down form of obedience, where persons choose the smooth and the easy over the true and the unpalatable is being peddled by false prophets, and teachers, and those philosophies are being imbibed, and practiced even in our churches, to an alarming extent.
For the record, God means exactly what He says, and no modification, alteration, subtraction or any additions would ever be acceptable in His sight. The disposition to change God’s instructions to make them more pleasing to the multitudes is one of the reasons why school teachers are having increasing difficulty in managing the students under their care.
Proverbs 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
