Lessons from Today's reading.

God chose Aaron to be the high priest and also his sons were given the responsibility of conducting the worship. However God is not a respecter of no one. He showed his anger when they took him for granted.

We should not be too familiar with God to the extent that we begin to do things on our own mind without respecting his will.
