I was shocked to re-realize this verse of scripture. Our God actually desires for us to retire at 50 after on working 25 years. Ain’t God good? If that is not a blessing to desire for, I wonder what is. Somehow, I missed this when I read this in the past, but it sure stood out for me today. If this is your desire, if you’re not already 50 (lol snicker snicker), it’s not a bad thing to hope for. And who said there’s no retirement for people doing God’s work? I know this says it applies to the Levite’s, but didn’t God say we were His priests and kings in Rev. 1:6 and 5:10
Numbers 8:23-26
23 The Lord said to Moses,
24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,
25 but at the age of fifty, they must retire from their regular service and work no longer.
26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.
