- But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because they were charged with the service of the holy things that had to be carried on the shoulder. Numbers 7:9 – To help with the task of moving the tent of meeting when needed, wagons and animals were giving to the ones who were called to do the work. Yet God allows no wagons or animals to the sons of Kohath because they were to carry their loads differently than everyone else due to the holiness of the things. Sometimes what we carry and how we have to carry it is different than everyone else around us. You may be carrying a loss that no ones else around you understands. You may have to carry burdens quietly to yourself due to your position that others would be able to share openly. What God has called you to carry, and how He’s called you to carry it, may look very different than for others. If though He’s given you that task, He must know you can bear it. Know He is there to pour strength into you to keep you going and is there to speak to when you can’t speak to anyone else. He understands carrying burdens that no one else can, so let Him help you with yours. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1423
- Numbers 7 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO And the Lord said to Moses, “They shall offer their offerings, one chief each day, for the dedication of the altar.” Numbers 7:11 – The tent of meeting was set up, now it was time to set it apart as holy for the Lord. The twelve tribes were to each day bring in offerings to the Lord for the dedication, and we see what each tribe gave each day as we read through the chapter. If you read the whole chapter with us, it would be easy to begin glancing over the verses a little because each section was a repeat of the previous day’s offerings given, just from a different tribe each time. Same offering each day and we read through it twelve times. While those twelve times may seem a little much for us to read, please notice what happened at the end of the chapter when the people behaved towards the Lord so faithfully like this. God spoke. They followed the directions given to them by God, they faithfully came to Him how He called them to come to Him, and the result was the voice of the Lord being heard by Moses. Am I saying then that if you just remain faithful to God twelve more days then you’ll hear God’s voice and finally get the answers or clarity you’ve been waiting for? No, but I will say that sort of steadfast faithfulness will sure help you in hearing the voice of the Lord in your life. When we remain steady in our pursuit of the Lord, rather than an off-on sort of faithful walk, the lines of communication between us and God become so much clearer. If then you are wanting to hear from the Lord, choose a faithful walk today after Him. Come to Him how He says to come to Him. Give to Him what He says to give to Him. Do for Him what He says to do for Him. Learn from this passage that the more we walk after God like God says to walk after Him, the clearer His voice will be in our story. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2288
