Everyone Is Busy Doing Something

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

1 Chronicles 23:3-5
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges: Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     All the Levite Priests were numbered. What does that really mean? It means they were each counted and placed with a group of men who had the same function in the House of the Lord as they did. For example, some who served in the Lord’s house were called to study and teach. Some we see were called to council with others as officers and judges in the House of the Lord. Some of the priests were porters, better known as gatekeepers. These men allowed access to areas and restricted access to other areas of the temple. On some occasions, these men were the collectors of the tithes and the money, which was brought into the temple. Some of the priests were designated to be musicians. Their responsibility was to bring musical praise to our Lord. Every priest was given something to do. No one was allowed to do nothing.

     Nothing much has changed over all these years, except now you are part of God’s Royal priesthood according to 1 Peter 2:9. It is your responsibility to be busy with the work of the Lord. Not one person is expected to do nothing. Every believer is gifted to do something. What gift did God give you?

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     You might begin today and pray, “Oh Lord make me the best at what I do for you right now” or “Give me something to do to glorify you oh Lord.” Let’s be busy about our Heavenly Father’s business.

What will you be busy doing for the Lord today?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
