The Lord said to Moses, “Bring all the men from the tribe of Levi. Bring them to Aaron the priest. These men will be his helpers. The Levites will help him when he serves at the Meeting Tent. And they will help all the Israelites when they come to worship at the Holy Tent. The Israelites should protect everything in the Meeting Tent; it is their duty. But the Levites will serve the Israelites by caring for these things. This will be their way of serving at the Holy Tent. “Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. The Levites were chosen from all the Israelites to help Aaron and his sons. “Appoint Aaron and his sons to be priests. They must do their duty and serve as priests. Anyone else who tries to come near the holy things must be killed.” chose all the firstborn from every family in Israel to be mine in a special way. That included all the firstborn men and animals. But now I am choosing the Levites to take their place. Now they will be my special servants. I, the Lord, give this command!”(Numbers 3:5-13)
God chose the tribe of Levi to assist Aaron and the priests. The Levites were dedicated to God’s service instead of the firstborn sons of Israel. God claimed the Levites as His own. God calls people to serve Him in different ways. Their assignment reminds us that serving God is holy and every responsibility He gives should be handled faithfully.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, set my heart apart for Your service. Help me faithfully care for every responsibility You place before me. May my life, gifts, and work belong entirely to You. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen and Amen.
