SCRIPTURE: Numbers (NIV) 4:5 When the camp is to move … 4:15 After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings … the Kohathites are to come to do the carrying. 4:24 …Gershonites… 25 to carry the curtains … coverings and outer covering of hides of sea cows … 4:31 [The Merarites] to carry the frames, its cross bars post and bases 32 … posts, pegs, ropes
OBSERVATION: In order to accomplish God’s will, the children of Israel had to be organized. Surely no one is better at organizing than God. In chapter three He assigns the families of the tribe of Levi camping locations around the tabernacle. In chapter four He assigns them responsibilities for moving the tabernacle across the wilderness. The Gershonites carried the furniture. The Kohathites carried the coverings and curtains. The Merarites carried the board and bars and pillars. They each carried their part until it could be assembled with all the other parts to make a tabernacle for the Lord.
APPLICATION: Every day I have an assignment. I am carrying something precious. I carry the actual presence of God. May I carry my part faithfully.
Today the SOAP team from West Africa is gathering 85 computers and printers to place in West African countries for printing out these SOAPs. Churches and people who value the SOAPs have given sacrificially, and today is the day to start distribution of the computers/printers. As the Levites carried the pieces of the tabernacle, the West Africa SOAP Team members will carry the computers and printers to the locations where they can print out and distribute the daily SOAPs. LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE!!!
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, by your presence, protect those distributing and installing the computers/printers. Bless them with your strength and joy. Lord, I especially ask a special blessing of favor for all who gave. Amen
