The purpose of the rod was
to stop the rebels from murmuring (complaining). The rod was used as an instrument of
correction and to make believers out of doubters. It was primarily a tool of discipline.
The rebellious murmurers
remind me of Victor Frankenstein. He is
known for bringing a lifeless creature to life.
If you don't know about Victor Frankenstein, you know about his creation
because the monster became synonymous with his creator's last name. The word Frankenstein conjures up thoughts of
the monster, not his creator.
After going through a
tragedy, Mr. Frankenstein desired to do something good. He decided to take lifeless items and make
them come alive. He went to
slaughterhouses, graveyards, and even coroner’s offices to steal what he needed
for his creation. He then put all of his
materials together and brought his creation to life. This lifeless, dead entity did come
alive. His goal was to take this monster
and give it life. Well, he did it. He created it, and these days we know it by
his last name – Frankenstein. What he
didn’t know is that he had created a beast.
The tragedy of
Frankenstein is that after he was created, after he was given life, after he
was nothing and then made into something, he turned on Victor and made his
maker a victim of his own creation.
Frankenstein became a monster because he took the life that was given
him and used it for his own purpose.
You and I have been given life by our Creator. Yet many of our lives are nothing short of monstrous because we have taken the life that He has given us and used it for something other than the Creator had in mind…and that, my friend, is a tragedy!
What to do:
✞Live your life in
accordance to what your Creator has
purposed for you.
