When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the veil of the screen and cover the ark of the testimony with it. Numbers 4:5 – The Tabernacle was a moveable place of worship for the Israelites during their time in the wilderness and into the Promised Land. It was holy and within it was extremely holy things such as the ark of the Lord. Our chapter today breaks down the breaking down and moving of this extremely holy setup known as the Tabernacle. We see the Lord enlisted 8,580 men from the tribe of Levi for all sort of aspects of this process. Some to cover the ark, some to carry the Tabernacle covering, some to move the pillars that surrounded the Tabernacle. Every aspect of the process was thought out by the Lord and He made sure this could-be chaotic process was something clear and doable. This is the beauty of our God, He sees all the details and is able to make the work clear and doable for us. For the tribe of Levi, breaking down and transporting the holy Tabernacle was a massive ordeal, but God made it doable. For us, the great commission is a massive ordeal. We are to go into the entire world, meaning every single nation on the planet to every single person on the planet, and tell them the good news that Jesus is alive and we can find salvation through Him. Could any task be more massive and have more could-be chaotic aspects attached to it? What we see though is our God has made this impossible task doable and clear for us. He’s called certain people to certain parts and to certain places. He’s gifted us with the skills and talents for the work. He’s outlined clearly for us the message we are to share, and to top it off, He says He’ll be with us the entire way. Know God does call believers to difficult tasks, but He is not a God of confusion. He makes the path clear and walks with us the entire way. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3354
