Numbers 3-8:4
Day 34 of my chronological study of the Bible with The Daily Bible® - In Chronological Order (NIV®) (available by purchase through Amazon - author F. LaGard Smith) focuses on God's call to the Levites to serve in the priesthood and tabernacle service - offerings are then made to consecrate the tabernacle and then by each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
God calls each of us to roles in His service. We all have skills and abilities and a role in God's plan.
See also 1 Corinthians 12 and previous posts on spiritual gifts.
We must also understand that all of our skills and abilities come from God and they belong to Him - see also post from a few days ago.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who has blessed me well beyond what I deserve. I am grateful Jesus. Yet I am undeserving. I sin...daily. Please forgive me and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
The Lord also said to Moses, “I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites in place of the first male offspring of every Israelite woman. The Levites are mine, for all the firstborn are mine.
When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set apart for myself
every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They are to be mine.
I am the Lord.” Numbers 3:11-13
