"Only God is Imperative"
Numbers 11:26-29
New International Version
26 However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them,
and they prophesied in the camp. 27 A young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”28 Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses’ aide since youth, spoke up and said, “Moses, my lord, stop them!” 29 But Moses
replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”
You're not indispensable. I'm not indispensable. Nobody is indispensable, except the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the head. He's the Preeminent One. He's the founder. He's in first place. And
when He moves one out and brings in another or demotes one and sets up another, He calls the shots. That is His sovereign, right? The problem arises when we get to thinking we're sovereign. My friend, He put you where He wanted you. He
gave you that job. He can take it away just as fast as He gave it. Faithfully do your work, lie low, and exalt Christ.
