1. Thinking about reading classics: Numbers (3-4)
Num 3: 14 The Lord said to Moses in the desert of Sinai:
Num 3: 15 "You should count the Levites according to their families. Men who have been for more than a month have to count. " ?
Count the Levites?
At first, I didn't understand the scripture above. Reading Numbers 3-4, I think God wants Moses to count the people. Some scholars believe that it is to prepare for war, on the grounds that only men who can fight are counted. Why count the Levites? What is the reason? The reason is also obvious, so that Israelis can understand,
1. Let the Levites understand that Levites are dedicated to God, and their job is to worship God. They don't have to face the enemy like other men in Israel. Although the Levites are dedicated to God and serve only in the tent of meeting, they also need the support of other Israelis to provide material support. Israel struggled to defeat the enemy, thus providing protection for the Levites. Levites can't feel superior just because they are dedicated to serving God. If you feel superior, you become a Pharisee.
2. Let other Israelis understand that although the Levites did not meet the enemy head-on, the Levites worshipped God wholeheartedly, which is an indispensable basis for the Israelis to win the war. If you worship and serve well, you can win the war. Their victory in the war is inseparable from the worship of God by the Levites. Because victory belongs to God. Israel cannot despise the Levites just because they did not take part in the war. As recorded in the Book of Judges, the Levites did not give full play to the words of teaching God, resulting in no king in the country, and everyone acted at will. The country is bullied by its neighbors, its morality is ruined, and its compatriots kill each other and suffer many misfortunes!
The Levites worship and serve God, and the God of Israel also serves God by fighting God. The Levites serve God on behalf of Israel, and Israel also tries its best to support and help the Levites and serve God. Match each other in God's house.
May everyone who serves God, such as Levites and Israelis, cooperate and support each other, and God's grace will last forever!

God is willing to show that man is God in what he cannot do.
This sentence touched me. What can't people do? I can't: I can't make others like me, and I can't make others not hate me; I can't: I can't let other people's lives grow; Nor can it stop those who long for God from growing up in life; I can't stop other people's lives from shrinking from prosperity, and I can't let the shrinking life grow. I can't: I'm willing to help others all the time without asking for anything in return. On the contrary, it is bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and coming uninvited. Can't forgive others completely, can't hurt others, have no scars in my heart, and laugh it off!
Only the grace of the Lord can make people like it, only the grace of the Lord can make people grow, and only the grace of the Lord can make people happy in adversity and adversity!
