We may not all be but God has made us all great.Of course, Knowing & Realising this will take different formats...
...And this is why I believe *Not all*...Yea, *Silent Greats.*
A summary of this biblical account in Numbers 4 will throw more light:
_The Levites is one of the 12 tribes of Israel.(as derived from the 12 sons of Jacob)._
_Among the Levites are these 3 clans-The Kohathites,Gershonites & the Merarites. Now these group of Levites had a very simple, rudimentary, monotonous&maybe seemingly unrecognised task to carry out._
_Their core duty was to carry those things in the Tent of Meeting- i.e. carry,put it down &carry it to another place...And for the rest of their lives, they were to repeat this again &again._
_Meanwhile for all the holy instruments that made the tent of meeting, it was only Aaron&his sons who were assigned to get close,touch and handle it._
Wouldn't you say Aaron&his sons had the very visible &better role to play?
I speak to the many songwriters who write or have written great songs but may never be heard. (Not forgetting backing vocalists)
I speak to the many producers,directors,photographers&others behind great productions who may never be known.
Again, I speak to various people& handlers of great successful visible men of God who may never seen.
Ooh yea, A lot of Great people abound but in hiding. The 'many greats' that we see constitute a few of the larger pool that we don't see.
Beloved, I believe in God's scheme of things *Not all Great people will be loudly heard though will be fulfilling their God-given purpose on earth.*
What is important?...is to Find your Purpose&pursue it diligently by accessing God's enabled Grace to fully live out.
It may not be flamboyant...Please don't Force it to be. You may not be born to be that popular musician but you were born to be his Keyboardist helping to churn out those mega hits. Beloved, you are in not in his shadow... You are also Great as well. _(The other legitimate issues can be looked at another time.)_
In fact, for the many known faces we see, that is not their place. That is not real calling. Many have misplaced their calling for which they need to go back and find.
If you are born to be OUT there, of course pursue it all with all the sweet bitter attractions associated. However, know that it doesn't take popularity to live a pleasing&fulfilling life unto God.
You only stand before God to give account of the gifts and mandate he gave you to fulfil¬ how well known you were. *Always remember that!* (Come to think of it which one is easier)
*SO I SAY:*
*NOT ALL GREATS WILL BE SEEN/WELL-KNOWN; FOR THERE ARE MANY SILENT GREATS.*
