“My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him and serve him, to minister before him and to burn incense.”12 Then these Levites set to work:
from the Kohathites,
Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah;
from the Merarites,
Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel;
from the Gershonites,
Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah.” (2 Chronicles 29:11–12)
Hezekiah becomes king of Judah, bringing restoration to the temple and hope to God’s people, who were formerly under the rule of King Ahaz. Hezekiah was a devout man of God. He was eager to empower God’s people to appropriate their talents and gifts to the service of His temple.
As God’s chosen people, we have the privilege to serve our God and to lead His people to greater understanding of who He is. Pray for a boldness to rise to the duty, the life, the call that God has placed on your life. Pray for a spirit of humility. Pray to live in the present, willingly receiving the duties to which God has called you in this season. Pray for a generous heart that seeks to recognize that your day is ordered—time is God’s, and resources are His gifts to you for Him. Praise Him for the outcome, unknown to you and entrusted to Him.
