    Enjoy the assignments that you have instead of focusing on those that you wish you had (Ps 84:10; w08 7/15 30 ¶3-4)

    Jehovah is good to all those who serve him faithfully (Ps 84:11; w20.01 17 ¶12)

    Collage: Levites performing various duties. 1. Pouring water from a clay jar into the copper basin. 2. Pulling a wagon filled with clay jars. 3. Carrying a clay jar.
