Today: [Numbers Chapter Seventeen] Aaron’s Rod that Budded. In this chapter the people continue to murmur against Moses and Aaron after a rebellion in which 14,000 people are killed including Korah who was swallowed up alive by the earth. God vindicates Aaron the high priest as His chosen man by having all the surviving heads of Israel put their rods and staffs before the tabernacle all night. In the morning Aaron’s rod has sprouted almond leaves, buds, blossoms and almonds. This is a picture of total fruitfulness. There is a principle in God whereby He vindicates His servants. When you are faced with rebellion and criticism and persecution He will vindicate you by signs, miracles and wonders when you are prepared to stand with Him in the face of the assault of your critics.
