Know your place.

Heed the calling of the Lord.

Accept the role He has laid out for you.

If you whine, complain, and/or challenge God, don’t be surprised if you are rewarded with pain, suffering, and loss, not unlike the pain and suffering you’d experience by sticking a knife into a toaster or putting diesel in your Prius.

Be like Moses, i.e., “the humblest man on earth” (v3).

Learn from the pain of Miriam and Aaron.

Accept the works of God. Support those chosen to lead.

Do all you can with the talents and gifts God has given you, without being envious of the gifts He has given others, which is the only way to…...

Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.

Now go sell something.
