As I was reading through Numbers I noticed something that had no caught my eye before. In Chapter 4 there is a lengthy discussion giving specific instructions to individuals in how they go about doing their daily duties in the Tabernacle. It made me wonder about how we go about tending to our own daily duties with God.
Numbers 4:16 "And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering, and the anointing oil, with the oversight of the whole Tabernacle and all that is in it, of the sanctuary and its vessels."
What I got to wondering is, when we get up each day, wouldn't it be great if we thought of ourselves like priests at the Tabernacle? If we thought carefully about asking for God's Holy Spirit to be a light in and through us, that we took time to actively lift up worship to God like a fragrant incense, and thanked Him in a purposeful way for all He has done, like a grain offering, and asked for Him to anoint us for service in doing His will that day.
It might be a good idea - after all, we are priests of our God (Revelation 1:6).
