Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry. Numbers 4:32b
We serve a God of specifics. Many would like to believe that He is merely "out there" somewhere, never concerning Himself with what is happening around us. I believe He is involved. I believe He has something in mind for each of us. I believe the greatest satisfaction in life comes from serving God in the simple tasks to which He has called us - even if it is like the Merarites, who were assigned to carry the tent pegs from the tabernacle.
Lord, You assigned specific things to the Levites. I believe there are many things that You have assigned to me. Help me to not get distracted by the other tasks that continually come my way. I long to be happy in this life. Help me to find joy - even in the mundane.
