Two men missed the gathering.

But they did not miss God.

Numbers 11 records something most people have probably read right past. Moses gathered seventy elders around the tabernacle, and the Spirit of God rested upon them.

But Eldad and Medad were still back in the camp.

Then something happened nobody expected.

The Spirit rested upon them too.

They began to prophesy right where they were.

When Joshua heard about it, he wanted Moses to stop them.

Moses refused.

“Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!” Numbers 11:29

Do not miss what happened here.

God moved OUTSIDE the gathering.

Not in rebellion against Him. Not because gathering did not matter. But because God was never imprisoned by the location of the meeting.

That should humble every one of us.

💥We can become so accustomed to where we expect God to move that we begin questioning Him when He moves somewhere else.💥

Eldad and Medad were not where everyone expected them to be.

God knew exactly where they were.

And the Spirit found them there.
