Numbers 2-3, Mark 11 :27-12 :17, Psalms 47 :1-9, Proverbs 10:24-25
What God said so me – Out of all the people in the world, I chose two groups of people to be My children and to be a kingdom of priests to Me – Israel and the Church. As priests, their responsibility was to worship and serve Me and to tell others how they could come to worship and serve Me also. Within the nation of Israel, I chose one tribe, the Levites, to be priests to minister to the rest of the tribes. I divided the Levites into four groups, by family, and when they set up My Tabernacle, I assigned each group to camp on a specific side of it and then I assigned each of the remaining tribes to camp on specific sides also. Their positions were not random – they were assigned. I want you to think about this as My child and part of My Church. You are to be a priest to Me, daily worshipping and ministering to and serving Me and telling others how they can come to Me. Just as the Levites’ and the other tribes’ positions in the camp were not random, but were assigned by Me, so is your place, as is the place of the people you encounter – your family – your friends – your neighbors – the strangers you encounter. I put you where I put you to serve Me and to minister to those I put around you. When you begin to see each person you encounter as someone I sent to you, it will change your attitude toward them and the way you think about them, but it will also change the way you act toward them – minister to those I send to you.
