Deut
18:5
For the Lord thy God hath
chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord…
The Lord Calls
The
Lord was telling the people of Israel to give part of what they had to the
priest and support him because the priest had been chosen by God to stand and
minister in the name of the Lord. The
financial support was commanded because of the call. The Lord calls people and it is important
that we understand and recognize this in others’ lives. When and if we support those who serving the
Lord in a full time capacity it is important for us to recognize the Lord’s
call on their lives. We are actually
helping the call of God to be obeyed and carried out. The calling of God is His decision and we are
to be people who are sensitive to the call of God in people’s lives, not only
financially but in any possible supportive way.
It would be a great prayer to pray, “Lord,
let me recognize who you have called for different things and use me to further
them along in all you have for them.”
This way the body of Christ is nurturing and building each other up in
our holy callings.
