No Comments Numbers 3-4: No Trivial Work in God’s Service
The priests were also a part of the battle, for without the blessing of the Lord, there could be no victory. Some of God’s people are in the front lines of the battle, while others are behind the lines, interceding to the Lord.
It was important that the tabernacle of the Lord go with the people, so God instructed the priests and Levites exactly how to dismantle it and carry it. Each detail about the Lord’s work is significant and must not be left to mere human wisdom.
And each person is vital to the work of the Lord, no matter what task God assigns. No task is trivial, not even taking care of the pegs (Numbers 3:37). Some Levites had heavier burdens than others, but God had given them the assignments and He would enable them.
The putting up and taking down of the tabernacle were tasks as essential as the offering of the sacrifices or the burning of the incense. Spiritual ministry is no place for idle spectators or careless workers, for it is a matter of life and death (Numbers 4:17–20).
