Passage: 14 “Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the people of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.15 And after that the Levites shall go in to serve at the tent of meeting, when you have cleansed them and offered them as a wave offering.16 For they are wholly given to me from among the people of Israel. Instead of all who open the womb, the firstborn of all the people of Israel, I have taken them for myself.17 For all the firstborn among the people of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I consecrated them for myself,18 and I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the people of Israel.19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and to make atonement for the people of Israel, that there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”(Numbers Song:Setting Us Apart by Leslie McKee, Theresa Amundrud, and Trent SmithLyrics:On this ground that you've made holyIn these lives that bear your nameSpirit of God search our hearts todayRealign our souls' affectionsAnd reveal our hidden sinSpirit of God cleanse us from withinYou're setting us apart setting us apart for YouYou finish what you start finish what you startSo Spirit move do what you doLet our passion and our purposeBe ignited by your loveSpirit of God let your will be donePurify purifyFit us for your kingdomPurify purifyFit us for your kingdomTake our hearts take our livesFit us for your kingdomWe give it all a sacrificeFit us for your kingdomPrayer: Take me, O Lord, and make meworthy of this calling—not by any strength I possess,but by your grace alone.Put your hand upon me.Sanctify me for your work.Let me not draw back from the difficulties or the unknown,but grant that in joy or sorrow, in weakness or in strength,I may always be yours—wholly, gladly, and forever.
