Standing Between Death and Life

Scripture
Numbers 16:48 He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague stopped.

Observation
Aaron stood with his censer between the living and the dead. He saved people because of his action, his intentional stance to be in the midst of the people when the Lord was judging them. What a brave and compassionate thing to do. The people were complaining against Aaron, Moses, and the Lord ~ and yet he stood in the midst of the complainers to save them. Way to go Aaron!

Application
I want to be a priest who postures myself to be right in the middle of where people are dying, and people are living. By my obedient actions, I want to make the difference between life and death for people. I need to not just be in the tabernacle where the presence of the Lord is, I need to be with the people who are complaining about the Lord. I see these people not as the unsaved, but as those who have left the church offended. Same kind of words that Korah said. "preacher, you go too far, God can speak to all of us, I'm not coming to the tabernacle, etc". They have no idea that they are in jeopardy for their actions. It won't cost them their lives as it did Korah, but there are some things that die in their lives.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for your powerful presence. Your presence is not contained at the church building, or during services. Please bring people back who have left, and help me to do the same.
