Eliab, leader of the people of Zebulun; Elizur, leader of the people of Reuben; Abidan, leader of the people of Benjamin; Abiezer, leader of the people of Dan. Do you know any of these people. Are these names you recognize?
These individuals were leaders of their tribes – a significant position. This was a position of responsibility and honor.  Yet I doubt very many know about them or recognize their names.Â
Our real significance in life comes from our position in relation to God, not in relation to people. We may hold a position of power, responsibility, and power in this life, but what lasts is the position we hold in our relationship with God. That which will be remembered through eternity is where we stand with God.
