Every Task Important!
"And also that every man should eat
and drink and enjoy the good of all
his labor—it is the gift of God."
Ecclesiastes 3: 13
God gave Moses detailed instructions for
building a tabernacle (Exodus 25–40). The
Levites were given charge of transporting all
these items as Moses led the people from
camp to camp in the wilderness.
The materials and furnishings for the
tabernacle were numerous, all gathered and
fashioned by the people in the wilderness—
right down to things as tent pegs and
cords
for securing curtains around the perimeter
of the tabernacle.
The Kohathite clan carried the most
holy parts of the tabernacle, but the
Merarite clan had charge of
things
like “sockets, pegs, and cords”
(Numbers 4:32).
Which assignment seems more important or
prestigious? It doesn’t matter because both
assignments were necessary for the glory
of
God (Exodus 40:34).
If God assigns you to carry
the tent pegs for Him, do
it
with joy, it is the gift of God.
"There is no work…that
does not glisten
before God."
John Calvin
