“And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen these people, and, behold it is a stiff-necked people: Now, therefore, let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.”
God was willing to make Moses another great nation. It seemed God didn’t care so much about numbers as to the obedience of his children. If God was willing to make Moses a voice, what does it tell us in this present time? We will stand before God individually and will be judged individually as well. God checks the hearts of men individually, whatever we do by looking at the man next to us, should be checked because it will be on our account after all. For example, if a man is influenced to sin against God and does sin, He will go to Hell if he remains in that state, regardless of who it was that influenced him (or her). This shows a call to individual responsibility at all times. It is okay to learn from leaders but we are the first priest over ourselves, we must give the diligence to examine ourselves through the lens of the Holy Scriptures above all (1 Timothy 4:16). It is unlikely to find a leader who may be without flaws regardless of their genuine passion for the Lord, because, at any point, the flesh may arise.
Remember that God was willing to walk with Moses alone after the disobedience of others. One thing is clear, we may not have Perfect knowledge of God, but we may have Perfect obedience and Perfect Love if we always give in to the Lord. We may not easily hide the evil that lies in our hearts as well because the actions we do will show it no matter how we try to pretend. These people pretended until the point where Moses was nowhere around, alas, God knew their hearts! Aaron as well who was a priest allowed the influence of these Israelites to darken his spiritual Judgement, So do not allow any man born of a woman to throw you off guard. Look upon Jesus always!
Make sure that God agrees with your Life and actions, when you do, be at peace. Walk with God, relate with Men. Work for the Master and Fix your gaze on him. He is more important and He will be your portion forever!! Shalom!
