Their responsibility was to be the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which the priests minister, and the screen – all the service pertaining to these.
Numbers 3:31
What I understand this verse to mean is we are held accountable for what God asks us to do. This is a hard pill to swallow. So often we get caught up in our own lives and forget we have a job to do. Our mission should be what God asks of us. We learn this by opening up our eyes, ears and hearts to him. When we choose not to fully do this we are in a sense shutting Him out. We will have to answer for these choices one day. It would be so much better to quiet our heads and listen for the job we are to do as it is in His plan. If Noah didn't follow the plan what would have happened to the history we know today? Everyone is dependent on each other following the plan.
