Leviticus 9:23 (NAS)
And
Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed
the people, the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.
Leviticus 9:23 (NRSV)
Moses
and Aaron entered the tent of meeting, and then came out and blessed the
people; and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people
Like Moses and Aaron, you are
a leader of the people of God. Adonai drew Moses to Himself and He has drawn
you as well. God ordained Moses to deliver His people from Egyptian bondage and
He has ordained you to set His people free from the bondage of sin.
After their deliverance, the
children of Israel needed someone to guide and direct them to seek the Lord
their God. Adonai chose Aaron for that special purpose. Aaron became the
Lord's first high priest. He was the one who brought light to tribes of
Israel. Like Aaron, God has chosen you to bring light to His
people. He has shone His light in your heart through His word and you let
that light shine.
Moses and Aaron spent time in
the tabernacle of God. They entered His habitation, His dwelling place, and
there they received clarity to perform what the Lord required of them. You,
also, have learned to spend time in His presence where you are filled and
illuminated anew.
You then can go out in
strength to stand with purpose before the congregation of the righteous.
There you will bless them, introducing them to the One whom you adore.
And He will reward you with the glory of His presence.
Through you, they will see
the honor, the dignity, the abundance and riches that He has poured
into your life. You will lead them into the deliverance and freedom for
which they long and you will stand with them against the enemy. Jehovah has set
you as His priest and light-giver, one whom He trusts to minister and serve His
beloved.
