Numbers 8 describes the cleansing process for the Levites in order for them to serve in the tent of meeting. They brought "...the Levites before the tent of meeting and assembled the whole congregation of the people of Israel. When you bring the Levites before the Lord, the people of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites, and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the people of Israel, that they may do the service of the Lord." (verses 9-11)
What an awesome way to lift someone up to the Lord and to show your support. When my wife and I were having our first baby, our young married's class at church did this for us. It was great to know that everyone there was lifting us up to the Lord and also showing their support for us. We could tell that the Lord blessed us that day. Thank you Bert and Lisa for the many ways you have helped my wife and I through the hard times; quite often without even knowing it.
How cool would it be to have this done more often? To show the support of many for one person. What a difference that could make!
