- They ministered with song before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they performed their service according to their order. 1 Chronicles 6:32 – Serve the Lord how the Lord calls you to serve Him. Never compare your calling to someone else’s thinking they are better in God’s eyes. Here these guys weren’t over the sacrifices or offerings, some of the more “glamorous” ways to serve back then. They were over the music being played and sung. God though saw their service as valued, needed, and as holy as the other ways to serve were. Maybe your role isn’t behind a pulpit but behind a welcome desk instead. Or maybe it’s behind a kitchen table praying for others or behind a spouse supporting them in their calling. Know if you’re fully leaning into the calling God has called you to He is pleased and sees it as holy. And isn’t He the one that matters anyways on if we are pleasing with how we serve?

- The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 1 Chronicles 6:3 – Here in chapter 6 we are given a very detailed genealogy of the tribe of Levi. Which would make sense why they would go to the extreme in detail here for they were outlining the lineage of Israel’s high priests and those who had other roles in the temple work. While we do see great detail in the outlining of the names, what we don’t get is much detail on their individual lives and deeds. Even here in verse 3, the name “Moses” is just dropped and continued on as any other name, but we know Moses was a massive character in the narrative of scripture. More than likely many of these high priests and servants did great things and served the Lord in massive ways, yet here we just get a list of their names and we move on. It pushes us today to pause and ask, “Why am I doing what I’m doing for the Lord?” Are we doing it for our name and deeds to be recorded in history, or are we doing it because we are seeking to simply be obedient to the words of the God that we love? Would you be alright if after a lifetime of serving the Lord, sacrificing everything you had for Him, if no one remembered you or your work? That’s what working for God’s glory is all about. It’s not about us, it’s all about Him. We must become less, He must become greater. Maybe we can leave things like internet devotionals that people can look back on 1000 years from now, but the name to be remembered isn’t ours, but the name of Jesus.
