Numbers
4 speaks about the work which the various tribes were to do in the Tent
of Meeting. Above all, the work we are called to do is worship. We are
to say from our hearts, āPraise be to the Lordā (Luke 1:68). Part of this worship will be the proclamation of Godās Word ā the Word through which we receive salvation (Luke 1:76-77). As the Word of God comes to us, God Himself says, āCome, My children, listen to Me; I will teach you the fear of the Lordā (Psalm 34:11).
What God did for His people, Israel, was very great. There is a striking contrast between their slavery in Egypt and their abundance in the promised land. God had multiplied His blessing upon them, just as Jesus did when He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). If the blessing is to be maintained and increased, we must honour the Lord. We must cry to Him for blessing: "Hear my prayer, O God, listen to the words of my mouth." We must call upon Him with faith: "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who sustains me" (Psalm 54:2,4).
