Aarons’ descendants were separated into two priestly lines: Eliezer and Ithamar. (Aaron’s eldest sons Nadab and Abihu disobeyed God, and they died. They and their family lines lost their precious chance to serve God.)

God has given us all a mission to serve him. May we serve God with humility and obedience. It is a great privilege to serve God. Eliezer and Ithamar’s descendants were then assigned their respective turns to minister before God. Since Eliezer’s line was more numerous than Ithamar's, there were consequently more turns assigned to Eliezer’s line than the Ithamar’s to minister before God.

The rest of the Levites, although they had no priestly duty, cast lots as well. They were also assigned tasks to do as Levites in serving God’s temple. God is the God of order. The rest of the Levites did not do random work here and there; they cast lots to be assigned into a clear role, family by family.

The Levites served God as musicians, gatekeepers, treasurers, and other roles. These are also very important and necessary in serving God.
Application: Thank you, Lord, for an opportunity to serve you.
One Word: Serve God with gratitude
