Aaron's Rod
“And it
came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness;
and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought
forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.”(v.8)
Here
Our Lord, not only confirmed Aaron’s position to the people but proved Himself
to be the true High Priest over the House of God by coming forth as “a rod [or
shoot] out of the stem of Jesse” (Isaiah 1:1) and as “a root out of a dry
ground.”
While
all the other rods remained as they were, dead wood, Aaron's rod became a
living branch. It sprouted buds, blossoms and yielded almonds.
Just
as Aaron’s rod became different, I do not want to be as others. I want God’s
hand of confirmation on my life, that I may blossom and yield fruit.
The
Truth
Blessed is
the man, who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of
sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the
law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” (Psalm
1:1-3)
