Matthew 21:1-27; Numbers 17-18; Ecclesiastes 11:1-8
God is very specific about the work of the people in the Old Testament. Each person had a job, each clan and tribe had a responsibility, and they needed to do that one thing and nothing else. I think that comes back to the notion that The Lord created each person with a gift, a calling, a purpose, and it is good for them to fulfill it rather than chasing something they will not succeed in.
God always provides. He told the Levites that they would not be getting any land. I’m sure they were at first worried how they would feed and support themselves, but then God told them of his plan to provide for them through the offerings of the people. God may not always give us what we expect, but he does give us what we need.
Keep working hard at everything: my career, my marriage, and spreading God’s love. It might just pay off. Is there a guarantee? Always, but I may not see it or know it. Thank God for his love, provisions, and guidance.
