Numbers 3 God is a God of Order

God called Moses to teach and to prepare the nation of Israel so they were given such orders that all may be organized and with proper design. Paul referenced this about God to the Corinthians and to us in turn: “1Co 14:33 for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace. As in all the churches of the saints,” He spoke to the church but the principle is such: all things are to be done in order just as He ordered creation from day one to day six and then rested on the seventh. 

Here God orders that creation of a protective group of the nation, specifically the Levites to serve Aaron and the priesthood. He told them to organize them with specific duties to assist Aaron and his remaining two sons. Guzik writes a helpful note: “to be a priest and to be a Levite were not the same thing at all. Only those who were descendants of Aaron could be priests.”  

Today as you observe your church’s function, note the order and honor such for in doing so you present men to serve and to honor God’s design.
