“And Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord commanded by Moses.” -Leviticus 8:36

Aaron and his sons were chosen by God to serve as priests. But there was a human element involved as well. They had to “complete the training.”

“Complete the training” was what Yoda criticized Luke for not doing in The Empire Strikes Back. Luke knew something bad was going down with his friends and decided to take on Darth Vader while only half-prepared. It didn’t turn out to well. He lost the battle, lost his hand, nearly died, and discovered Vader was his daddy. Maybe he should have listened to Yoda and completed his training.

God has called us to serve him in unique and powerful ways. Unfortunately, we often like to take off in a direction of our own that is outside of his plan for our lives. When we do, we run into problems. When Aaron decided to build a golden calf for the people to worship instead of leading people to worship the true God, the fallout was severe. When he followed God’s called and “did all the things that the Lord commanded by Moses,” his life pleased the Lord and he made a positive impact in the lives of others.

We are called by God. Let’s obey him and follow through to complete his calling for our lives.
