Day 59

We see this morning the very detailed duties of the Levites. And one may wonder why so much detail. But, when you consider it, the worship of the Lord is important. We have seen that already with Nadab & Abihu offering “strange fire” and feeling the immediate consequences. But there is another aspect that is worth considering here in regard to every Levite being given a very specific assignment. This takes away competition amongst duties (which we are apt to do as humans). Everything is important and significant in the worship of the Lord according to what he has set forth.

Today we don’t have the same duties, but we do have the Spirit of God who has given to the people of God various gifts. We are called to use those gifts for the benefit of the body of Christ. We are not to be jealous of the gifts of others, but to be thankful for the gifts we have been given and we are to be good stewards of those gifts.

How can you use your gifts to serve the church?
