Numbers 18

Daily Devotional from Numbers 18—

Verse 7b
…I give your priesthood to you as a gift…

One of the most honored gifts God gives is to serve the Most High as a Priest. The gift was not to be taken lightly. There were many requirements, and Holiness and reverence through ritual were more important than anything they did. They recognized that God was Holy and must be treated with honor and respect, just as all Pastors and Priests of today should.

Not all of us are given those special gifts.  But we are given other calling gifts, to be watchmen, to be witnesses of Jesus Christ, to be loving and kind, to be generous, and as called and chosen, we are required to Honor God and treat Him with the respect and awe that is due Him.

Let’s discover the requirements of our specific gifts and callings and complete them, just as the Priests of the Old Testament were required to do.  God deserves that blessing from us so let’s complete our calling to the best of our ability, in the power of Jesus Christ who gives us strength.
