 This is why you don't need to defend yourself when people wrongfully question your calling. Certain Levites had become jealous of the authority God had given to Aaron and Moses and then challenged them. Korah, who was among those who attempted to incite a rebellion, said, What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the Lord's people? To prove he was with Aaron, the Lord instructed Moses to have the leader of each tribe write their names on their own rods and then leave their rods in the presence of the Lord. Overnight the Lord had caused buds to sprout only on Aaron's rod. In this way the Lord miraculously validated Aaron. God's validation can't be explained away. Don't get bitter, don't gloat, don't be distracted. Just trust the Lord to validate his own work in your life. Let your character and calling speak for themselves.
