Numbers 1:16 NLT
“These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.”
‭‭
The chosen leaders
A critical aspect of the referenced scripture is the present-tense configuration. The scripture states, “these are the chosen leaders…” This raises a thought-provoking question: Are you operating in the same spiritual frequency as the Lord? The Lord sees your calling as a current reality; be cautious not to allow it to slip into the past tense through doubt or complacency.

Additionally, it’s essential to recognize that these individuals were not merely called leaders; they were specifically chosen leaders. Their selection wasn’t based on human criteria such as age, wealth, or power but on divine purpose and calling. Remarkably, no further details about their background or achievements were provided besides their names and their fathers’ names. This suggests they might not have been the most prominent figures in society. Yet, the Lord selected them, entrusting each with the significant responsibility of leading and representing their ancestral tribes.

In essence, the Lord chose them to preserve and uphold the virtuous legacy of their forebearers in His presence. This invites reflection: How are you fulfilling your role in the continuum of your family’s spiritual journey?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that I will not disappoint You but bring glory to You in every position of authority accorded me through the grace of Jesus Christ. Amen.
