Num 16:1-19
Have you ever felt overlooked or envious of someone else’s position? Korah did. His pride led him to rebel against Moses and Aaron, challenging God’s chosen leaders. But Korah’s rebellion wasn’t just against people—it was against God Himself. The outcome was devastating, a sobering reminder of where pride can lead. Today, pride still tempts us to push our own way forward. Yet God calls us to something better: humility. When we lay down our need for control and recognition, we find His favor and peace. True greatness is found in serving others and trusting God’s perfect order. Let’s choose humility, remembering that God lifts up the humble.
