God gave Aaron and the priesthood to Israel as a gift from Himself. But then we are told He gave the Levites to the priesthood for a gift to them. The latter was given so they might help in menial tasks those that were ministering to the Lord. Though the Levites may be seen by some as having a lesser important job, nevertheless they were held in high esteem in God’s sight.
God has given to each of us someone who keeps us going, who keeps us on the firing line, so to speak. Someone who may be in the shadows, and who is little or never noticed, for the important tasks they perform for us. Moses had Joshua; Paul had Timothy; Aquila had Priscilla; Esther had Mordecai; etc. Have you thanked God for that person, or persons, that God brought into your life that has been such a help and blessing to you? Remember, they are a gift from the Lord to you, “And I, behold, I have taken your brethren… from among… you… [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service… (Num.18:6).
