Numbers 20:23 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
There are basically two types of skeletons that you would find in your closets, namely, the ones that are really dead, and the ones that are just subdued. The ones that are really dead refer to former cravings or indulgences that have been uprooted by Christ. As a general rule of thumb, these would not faze the Christian anymore for they have become permanent bygones, and as such they are not really a problem.
But the skeletons that are just subdued are the ones that are deep seated, usually having being indulged in your early, and adolescent years, into adulthood, and which the devil has successfully tripped us up on, over and over again, but since baptism they only surface on occasion, when the right circumstances converge.
Now, just because they do not erupt nearly as often as they used to in former years some Christians may take it for granted that these have been overcome, but lo and behold, when sudden temptation comes, out of the blue without warning, and the situation is favorable, the old devil succeeds yet again, much to our chagrin.
Numbers 20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. 29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
