Meditation Points:
- God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33), and He expects all things to be done decently and in order (I Corinthians 14:40).
- God appointed the grouping; Israel had no choice in the matter. Often we find ourselves grouped with people we would not have chosen; but our duty is to submit to God’s providence.
- A place for everything, and everything in its place.
