I Chronicles 23-26

“The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the temple of the Lord” (23:28). The building of the Temple in Jerusalem meant that the priests and Levites could fulfill their permanent roles. The priests offered regular sacrifices, and their Levite assistants worked as guards (26:19), musicians, and prophets (25:1); some handled the sacred bread (ch 23), and the treasuries (26:20). Israel’s people and most precious resources were dedicated to one thing: worshiping and serving the Creator who had saved them.

“They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord ...” (23:30). Rather than being an addition to our lives, the right place for God is at the center.
