Num. 8 [The Message]

The Levites were to go through a process of purification so they could minister to the Lord ie. do His work. It’s the same today. God puts His people through a refinement process that gets them ready to “Do His Work.”

One of the choruses in Handel’s Messiah is taken from Mal. 3 where it says, “He shall purify the sons of Levi THAT they may offer unto Him an offering in righteousness.” It’s a difficult chorus to sing because of the “melismas,” a group of rapidly sung notes on one word of text. In the same way, God’s purification process is difficult to endure, yet ESSENTIAL to become the purified minister He is looking for.

When you see someone who is being used mightily by God, you can be assured that they have gone through the fire of God’s refining purification process.
