1 Chronicles 6
-This chapter gives many names associated with the Tabernacle
and later Temple worship systems of Israel. It focuses on the sons of Levi, from
which Aaron and Moses came. It mentions Samuel, who was a great prophet and almost
single handedly revived the nation in the time of the judges. The chapter also goes
into depth on the worship leaders in song that were appointed by David, the king,
in the house of the LORD, after the ark rested there (1 Chronicles 6:31). Aaron
and his son’s role was important for all the work of the most holy place and in
making atonement for Israel before the LORD according to all that Moses, the servant
of God, had commanded (1 Chronicles 6:49). These were the high priestly line and
were given lands in the different parts of the nation for settlement and cities
of refuge (Numbers 35). *Application* The work of the most holy place is indeed
given credence when we look at passages like this one. God wants men of dedication
to lead in the worship of Him and there is a place for those who are truly called
to this type of ministry. In our churches today we see many of the same principles
at work, or at least we should. Provide for God’s people to maintain the work of
ministry, whether it be the teaching aspects, the organizational parts, the arts
and music, or other God given responsibilities. Enable the work of the LORD to run
smoothly without interference. They are the equippers of the saints (Ephesians 4:4-16).
