Numbers 4

We read in this chapter about God specifically assigning the respective tasks of the Kohathites, the Gershonites and the Merarites with regards to the tabernacle service.

A census of each tribe is taken in order to precisely number the men who are appointed by God to the work. The work is strictly not free for all. It is strictly confined to the tribes mentioned above.

God is an exact God and a God of order. He is not the author of confusion. God's work should be done with order and organization. Each has his designated area of service in the work of the tabernacle.

May God's local churches around the world learn! May each Christian discover his or her spiritual gift or gifts so that he or she could function where God wants him or her in the church.
