The first part of today's passage tells of Aaron's gains as he is serving the Lord in the Temple - all the food he and his family will eat. This shows that as people who are serving God, He will provide for our needs. Like we are always told, where we are short, God makes up that 20% or 80% or however much that we are missing. Like the Bible says, we should not worry what to wear or what to eat the next day, because God will provide. I think of the things that I am blessed with, the things that I have only because God gave me and I am so thankful. Most of the time we do take the things we get for granted, bought and things given to us. I need to remember that it was provided to me by God and I do not want to waste the things that I receive. I need to be more humble and as sad as it is, need to realize it is not money that gave me the things I bought, but God.
The second portion of the today's passage brings up a point that I never realized. The reason why there is an emphasis on the first born is because the first born of God, Jesus, is an important person in our lives. He is God's firstborn and he is the one who suffered for us, was sacrificed for us. It was just something that amazed me.. and something that I should think of more often..
