Individual Attention


A chiasm in Numbers 4:49 emphasizes that Moses assigned a specific task to each of the 8,580 Levites counted in the census of men from 30-50 years old.
  • According to the commandment of YHVH through Moses
    • They were listed
      • Each one with his task of serving or carrying
    • They were listed by him
  • As YHVH commanded Moses 
Surely it didn't require 8,580 men to pack up and carry the Tabernacle. It was elaborate, but as far as Temples and the like went, it really wasn't very impressive. None-the-less, God had a place and a job for every one of them.

Now zoom out from this one small tent to the entire planet with thousands of cities, millions of organizations and businesses and ministries, and billions of people. There is far more work to do than people to do it.

If God knows the names of all the stars and the numbers of the hairs on your head, surely he knows you as well, and he has a place in his Kingdom specifically for you.
