TOPIC: Every Task Important
And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God. – Ecclesiastes 3:13
Recommended Reading: Numbers 4:31-33
God gave Moses detailed instructions for building a tabernacle (Exodus 25–40). The materials and furnishings for the tabernacle were numerous, all gathered and fashioned by the people in the wilderness—right down to things like tent pegs and cords for securing the curtain around the perimeter of the tabernacle. The Levites were given charge of transporting all these items as Moses led the people from camp to camp in the wilderness.
Moses went so far as to assign certain Levite clans to carry certain parts of the tabernacle. The Kohathite clan was to carry the most holy parts of the tabernacle (Numbers 4:1-20), but the Merarite clan was given charge of things like “sockets, pegs, and cords” (Numbers 4:32). Which assignment seems more important and prestigious? It doesn’t matter because both assignments were necessary for the glory of God (Exodus 40:34).
If God assigns you to carry the tent pegs for Him, do it with joy—it is the gift of God.
There is no work…that does not glisten before God.
John Calvin
