The mundane vs. the miraculous, etc.

Numbers 1

Phew, thank God Leviticus is behind us now!

One thing I noticed in Numbers 1: The importance of not looking down on ‘mundane’ tasks. God sometimes appoints us to do seemingly mundane things. He wanted a census taken and specified the names of the men that He wanted to do the counting in each family. That caught my attention. I think we would take our tasks more seriously if we knew God had mentioned our names and told us to do them. It’s not always about the miraculous.

Matthew 3

Verse 7: ‘Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.’

The difference between a disciple and one who is just part of the large crowd. Something to think about. Goal: Be a disciple and not a mere ‘groupie.’
