Mission Field

Moses said, “By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing. If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.”  (Numbers 16:28-29, NASB)

Moses suffered from a rebellion.  Korah, Dothan, and Abiram rebelled against Moses in the wilderness of Sinai.  Moses put it all on the line in the passage above.  He told his fellow Israelites to stay away from the rebels’ tents and families.  Then Moses said the following:  “By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing. If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.”

Then the earth opened, and swallowed the rebels, their families, their tents, and all their possessions.  I guess Moses WAS sent by God!  

Lesson learned:  We shouldn’t interfere with people who are doing God’s work!  How do we know if they’re doing God’s work or not?  We have to look carefully at what they’re doing, and balance it carefully with God’s Word.  To do this, we have to study God’s Word to know what it says.
