Feb 24: Numbers 3-4

Feb 24, Numbers 3-4

Numbers 3 is where we read about the sons of Aaron, remembering that 2 of his sons had died.

Then the Lord moves on to tell us about the duties of the Levites - they are to minister to the priests and the tabernacle. Their role is very important to God, which is why they are set apart for Him and His service. Then there is another recap of the tribes, listed by clan - God is a God of details! 

Numbers 4 is where God does a census of the Kohathites - they were the Levites that handles the most holy of items in the tabernacle and the non-priestly ones were not even permitted to look at them, lest they die. Then we read about various tasks given to others and we see that there are lots of chores all leading to glorifying God. 

To sum it all up:

• To be asked to serve God is not to be taken lightly, as the ultimate purpose is in serving the Holy God - in our day to day lives, we are serving this same Holy God. When we serve in that vein, our attitudes should reflect that adoration and reverence to and for Him.
• Remember - Every word of the Bible is there for us to learn about God!
