And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; and gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus 8:1-4
There is about to be a presentation of the priests. But before there can be presentation, there must first be preparation. That's always the way it is . . .
God prepared Moses for eighty years-forty years as a prince in the courts of Pharaoh, and forty years as a shepherd on the backside of the desert-before calling him to lead His people away from Pharaoh and to shepherd them across the wilderness.
God prepared Paul for three years in the desert of Arabia before calling him to take the gospel to the Gentiles.
God prepared Jesus for thirty years by having Him grow up under and submit to His earthly father and mother. As a result, He grew in favor with both God and man (Luke 2:52).
To you who, like me, want to be used by God, I would say, as did Zechariah, "Don't despise the day of small things" (see 4:10). You may be on the backside of the desert, going through boring times or difficult situations, but know this: it's all part of God's preparation.
