Contentment in Your Place

Matthew Henry draws a powerful lesson from the orderly camp. Just as each tribe, like Naphtali, had a specific, God-given position, he suggests Christians should be content with their allotted place in the church. This orderliness, free from envy or ambition, becomes a beautiful testimony to God's design, bringing joy to those who witness it.
