#24-32 Now the people of Israel were so many, there should be
more employed in the temple service, that every Israelite who
brought an offering might find a Levite ready to help him. When
more work is to be done, it is pity but there should be more
workmen. A new heart, a spiritual mind, which delights greatly
in God's commandments, and can find a refreshing feast in his
ordinances, forms the great distinction between the true
Christian and all other men in the world. To the spiritual man
every service will yield satisfaction. He will be ever abounding
in the work of the Lord; being never so happy as when employed
for such a good Master, in so pleasant a service. He will not
regard whether he is called to take the lead, or to keep the
charge of others who are placed over him. May we seek and serve
the Lord uprightly, and leave all the rest to his disposal, by
faith in his word.

* The divisions of the priests and Levites.
- When every one has, knows, and keeps his place and work, the
more there are the better. In the mystical body of Christ, every
member has its use, for the good of the whole. Christ is High
Priest over the house of God, to whom all believers, being made
priests, are to be in subjection. In Christ, no difference is
made between bond and free, elder and younger. The younger
brethren, if faithful and sincere, shall be no less acceptable
to Christ than the fathers. May we all be children of the Lord,
fitted to sing his praises for ever in his temple above.
