Scripture: Numbers 16
OAP: Don't have a specific verse today. Interesting passage about leadership. The Israelites and Levites especially considered themselves holy and felt that Moses and Aaron were being arrogant in their leadership. So God gathers them all in one place. He swallows up the families with a giant crack in the ground, and burns up all the men...done.
Certainly shows who is appointed and in charge. But Moses didn't get angry. He just turned things over to the Lord. He wasn't perfect by any means. The whole reason he didn't get to enter the promised land is because of His disobedience.
Vengeance, justification, establishing his position, etc. weren't his responsibility. He was reliant on God to speak and act.

Moses fumbles the ball later (Num 20, the whole not getting into the Promised Land stuff). I appreciate that he is a real, flawed, leader like me. Your thoughts were encouraging to me today.
