God gave Korah work at the tabernacle and gave Aaron the priesthood. Korah wanted Aaron’s place, and Moses asked him whether the work God had given him seemed so small. We can be thankful for what God gave us until we start lusting after what He gave somebody else. Then what He gave us starts to look small. Moses had Aaron, Korah, and the 250 men with Korah bring incense before the Lord so He could show whom He had chosen. Fire from the Lord consumed the 250 men, and God had their bronze burners hammered into plates for the altar to remind Israel whom He had entrusted with that duty. The work God gives us is every bit as important as the work He gave to someone else.
“Seemeth it but a small thing unto you … to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord …?” —Numbers 16:9
