Levitical dedication and responsibilities

Numbers 3-4

The Levitical males were considered a substitute for all of the firstborn males of the other tribes of Israel.  Also, they were given specific responsibilities in caring for the Tabernacle.  I think this is analagous to Spiritual Gifts for caring for the Church.  It seems like we should be more concerned about helping people discover and use their gifts for building up the Body.

Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to participate in your Building project.  Lord Jesus, please give us compassion and brokenness for your Body.  Holy Spirit, please make us aware of the gifts that you have given us, and give us power as we use them to advance your Kingdom.  I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
