Read Genesis 49:17, 18. Jacob likens Dan to a snake that takes on adversities much bigger than itself, such as a warhorse and its rider. Dan would prove dangerous to Israel's enemies. During their trek to the Promised Land, the tribe of Dan protected the nation by "forming the rear guard." (Numbers 10:25) That was an important assignment, even though the Danites were not carrying it out in full view of the rest of the nation.

What can we learn? Have you ever cared for an assignment that appeared to go unnoticed by others? Perhaps you helped to clean and maintained the Kingdom Hall, volunteered to work at an assembly or a convention, or cared for another task. If so, you are commended! Always remember that Jehovah notices and values everything you do for him. He especially appreciates it when you serve him, not because you are looking to receive praise from others, but because you are looking to receive praise from others, but because you want to express our sincere love for him. - MATTHEW 6:1-4.
