I Chronicles
26:1,20 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was
Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. And of the Levites, Ahijah
was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the
dedicated things. King David had the priests and Levites organized to make
their ministries operate efficiently. He also organized the gatekeepers and the
treasurers. The gatekeepers were very important. Jerusalem had to be secure. In
order to keep spies and crooks out of town, the gates were closed at sundown
and opened again at sunrise. Any gatekeeper who let someone in after hours
could lose his life! His job was that important! And the treasurers had
important jobs too! Can you imagine keeping up with all of the gold and silver
in the house of God?! Every single spoon and cup had to be accounted for. So
King David organized the treasurers to oversee God’s things. As you can see, no
job was unimportant during David’s reign as king. And no job is unimportant in
your church too. So, if you have a job, even a little one, do it to the best of
your ability. Do the best that you can - for God!
