CARRYING LOADS
Today's reading: Numbers 1-4

"Their duties at the Tabernacle will consist of carrying loads." Numbers 4:31 NLT

The Merarite clan of the tribe of Levi had an important job to do each and every time the Tabernacle was moved and reset in a new location.

It was as important as the priestly job.

It was as important as the job of the Ark carriers.

It was as important a job as the ones who set in place the curtains covering the Holy of Holies.

They were load carriers.

I know a few modern-day Merarites.

They are invaluable to me.

They are my prayer warriors.

My go-to-when-it-gets-too-hard gals.

My burden bearers.

They are the Christian sisters I call when the heaviness on my heart becomes more than I can carry on my own.

Carrying loads...it was an important job then--and now!
