Our Bible reading today is in 1 Chronicles 23,24,25.
In the last months of David’s life, he was busy. The bible reading today says that he was old and his days were full. He may have reached his golden years but he made good use of his time and energy.
That should be inspiring to the “old heads”...the “grey beards”. God used David even when he was old. That’s good news...Praise the Lord!
Continuing in the text...He led his mighty men in war against Edom. Srs. Let us wage spiritual warfare in prayer every day that we have left for the souls of people around the world.
He prophesied and wrote songs of the Greatness and the Holiness of God. Srs. Let us prophesy/proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ as God gives us opportunities as long as we live.
He laid in store much material for the building of the Temple. Srs. Let us lead the way in our church land and building programs. Giving sacrificially over and above our regular tithes and offerings. The younger will follow our example.
He made Solomon king over Israel. Srs. Let us acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King of our own lives every day that God gives us breath.
Sr Adult David appointed leaders, overseers to help Solomon run the country and lead the nation spiritually. And Srs. Let us invest what we have learned as disciples of Christ in our family and our church family.
Let’s draw some parallels from today’s text of David’s organization of the Levites for Temple duties. Every Levitical family was set apart to serve God by serving The Chosen People of God in the work of the Temple. Though only the family of Aaron would be priests, every family of Levi would have their special God-given function concerning the Temple and the worship of God.
Every believer and follower of Jesus is set apart to serve God by serving God’s kingdom kids in and through the church. Peter said it...in his first letter chapter 4. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:”
Peter charged the church in the Cilician region to be who they were saved to be...Spirit-filled. Spirit gifted servant/guardians of the church on her mission to make disciples Christ around the world.
