                                                          the two men had remained 
                                                          in the camp: the name 
                                                          of one was Eldad and 
                                                          the name of the other 
                                                          Medad. And the Spirit 
                                                          rested upon them. Now 
                                                          they were among those 
                                                          listed, but who had 
                                                          not gone out to the 
                                                          tabernacle, yet they 
                                                          prophesied in the camp. 
                                                          And a young man ran 
                                                          and told Moses, and 
                                                          said , 'Eldad and Medad 
                                                          are prophesying in the 
                                                          camp.' 
                                                          So Joshua the son of 
                                                          Nun, Moses' assistant, 
                                                          one of his choice men, 
                                                          answered and said, 'Moses 
                                                          my lord, forbid them!' 
                                                          Then Moses said to him, 
                                                          'Are you zealous for 
                                                          my sake? Oh, that all 
                                                          the Lord's people were 
                                                          prophets and that the 
                                                          Lord would put His Sprit

                                                          Scripture God uses the

                                                          the weak, the ones most 
                                                          often passed over for 
                                                          greatness -- why? Because 
                                                          man's tendency is to 
                                                          exalt himself for the 
                                                          gifts God bestows. 
                                                        A 
                                                          family was describing 
                                                          their Pastor to us one 
                                                          day to the point where 
                                                          I had to say we need 
                                                          to look at the message 
                                                          coming from God not 
                                                          the man who was presenting 
                                                          it. 
                                                        Even 
                                                          Jesus' physical form 
                                                          was unassuming. Read 
                                                          how Isaiah describes 
                                                          the Lord, "He had 
                                                          no beauty or majesty 
                                                          to attract us to Him, 
                                                          nothing in His appearance 
                                                          that we should desire 
                                                          Him." (Isaiah 53:2) 
                                                        We 
                                                          are made in the image 
                                                          of God on the inside 
                                                          yet we look at the outside 
                                                          as our measure. God 
                                                          wants us to be like 
                                                          Jesus on the inside 
                                                          so we manifest His qualities 
                                                          on the outside by what 
                                                          we do, on how we share 
                                                          His love as He did.
