Numbers 16 - Rebellion Against God's Annointed

Korah raised up a group of Levites and Reubenites, trying to rebel against Moses and Aaron. He and the 250 who followed him were killed by God. These people forgot that God is the one in control, and not His appointed servants.

In our country, we have the wonderful opportunity to vote for our leaders. Yet, we should never forget that it is God who places the individual in the seat of authority. As a Christian, it is vital that I vote for the individual who will best lead our nation on a God-fearing path. But if the leadership that obtains the office is not to our liking, it is very important to realize that God's will has allowed that person to be there. Rebellion against authority is rebellion against God Himself.
