“但是没有分给哥辖的子孙，因为他们所办的事是圣所的事，是要用肩头抬的。”
民数记 7:9
“But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath because theirs was the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.”
Numbers 7:9
“I wonder how the Kohathites felt?” veteran missionary Amy Carmichael wrote. “All the other priests had ox-carts to carry their parts of the tabernacle through the desert. But the sons of Kohath had to trudge along the rocky tracks and through the burning sand, with the ‘holy things for which they were responsible’ on their shoulders. Did they ever grumble inwardly, feeling that the other priests had an easier task? Perhaps! But God knows that some things are too precious to be carried on ox-carts and then He asks us to carry them on our shoulders.”
God has different plans for each of us. We might feel that others have an easier assignment, or a more glamorous role to play. But if our loving Father has handpicked us for our task, who are we to whisper, “I can’t do this”?
God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plans.
