The Levites were a subculture in the land. Among them were chosen officers who served the temple and its services. They were part of the community but they had special tasks, and were honored by reason of their place among the people. There were no menial tasks. Each was to be performed as unto the LORD. So it is in living the Christian life. The Holy Spirit gives each believer spiritual gifts as he sees fit. Rather than seeking to be someone else, or do something else, we should seek to be ourselves in the most honorable way.
LORD, show us our place, and give us zeal to take it.
1 Chronicles 23-24
