Read: Numbers 3-4
Focus Verse: “At the LORD’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and told what to carry.” (4:49a).
Devotion: Delegation, the ability to divide up tasks and duties. The tabernacle was a mobile church, so it took a TON of manpower. They had to carry all of it, and set it up and break it down every time the Israelites traveled. For 40 years these tasks had to be assigned! Who carries what? Who’s responsible for what? The labor had to be broken up. Isn’t it amazing that over 20,000 people were assigned tasks and did them!? Often in church life the ‘joke’ is that 10-20% of the people do all the work. God through Moses mobilized thousands to specific service. How come we don’t?
Pray: LORD use me like you used Moses. Use me like you used the Israelites. Help me lead like Moses and serve like the tabernacle workers. God let me do this because I have YOU and I serve YOU! Let all that I do be to and for Your name, and then I will know that you will help make it happen. Amen!
