There is divine protection for those who are found doing what God has called them to do. When we submit to God in all things and do the work/job/ministry He has asked us to, nothing can harm us and when people revile against us they actually revile against God and He will defend us and fight for us. Read the rest of Numbers 16 to see Gods action against those who fight against His servants. God blesses those who serve Him!
Numbers 16: 7b and 11
7b …Then we will see whom the LORD chooses as his holy one…
11 The LORD is the one you and your followers are really revolting against! For who is Aaron that you are complaining about him?”
Exodus 23:25-26
25 “But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
26 “There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
