Korah and his cohorts thought they should have a prominent place in the 'Lord's assembly.' That frame of mind was costly. OUCH!
How often do we get upset when our name doesn't get specifically mentioned when accolades are passed around? It often seems the more prominent folks get the notice and then 'the rest' or the 'supporting cast' gets casually mentioned. I've come to realize that's really not such a bad place or group to be in with God. When it comes to 'heavenly visions' the Word of God often mentions phrases like - 'a great crowd of witnesses', 'people from every tribe, language, and nation', 'those who had been victorious over the beast' - standing, celebrating, and praising in God's presence. I don't think anyone in those settings cares that they weren't given specific mention, only that they are part of the cast that made it in. And truly, that's all that should really matter. You are somebody to God!
Until tomorrow...
