Message
The Levites who were from the tribe of Levi were assistants to the priest. They were tabernacle workers. They helped in the carriage of the tabernacle and were responsible for its movements and set-up. Their tents on every side were between that of the congregation and the tabernacle, shielding Israel from the wrath that could be occasioned through any form of carelessness. Their service was voluntary, and they derived their remuneration through provisions for the sanctuary service. Therefore, they willingly, humbly and sacrificially cared for the sanctuary and assisted the priests, as they were content with their God-given roles.
Christian youths are not expected to offer less love and loyalty to God and His service, His demand doesn’t change with the passage of time. We are under a better covenant than the Old Testament believers and enjoy better promises. We must never consider any service in the kingdom as ordinary but count ourselves privileged to serve the king of kings. Only saints can offer acceptable service. What service are you render to God in His sanctuary?
