GOD RAISED CAPABLE LEVITES TO SERVE
Keywords 26:12
These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men,
had duties for ministering in the temple of the LORD, just as their relatives
had.
1.
Capable gatekeepers (1-19)
Levites had many different responsibilities
related to ministering at the temple.
Some were
gatekeepers for the temple. Meshelemiah, Obed-Edom, and their
sons were
all capable men who were appointed to serve as gatekeepers. Hosah
and his
sons were also called to be gatekeepers. Lots were cast to determine who
was
responsible for a specific gate. Young and old alike served side-by-side every
day.
2. Able
treasurers, officials, and judges (20-32)
Still other Levites served as treasurers,
officials, and judges. Ladan and his
descendants
were responsible for the temple treasuries. Shubael, Shelomith,
and their
relatives took charge of the treasuries for the things dedicated by King
David,
Samuel, Saul, Abner, Joab, and others. Still, other Levites ministered to the
Reubenites,
the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh who all lived west of the
Jordan. God
had set aside the Levites for his work. When God calls his people for
specific
work, he also enables them to carry it out.
Prayer Father, thank you for giving me
good work to do for you and the ability to
do it. Help
me to humbly and diligently carry out your work.
One Word God enables us to do his work
