Chron 29:11
My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord
hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister
unto him, and burn incense.
King Hezekiah
is instructing the Levites in their place in God’s kingdom. The Levites had been negligent in their
calling and the king called them in to remind them and stir them up in their
calling. He tells them that the Lord had
chosen them. The Lord chose them to
stand before Him, to serve Him, minister to Him and burn incense. Hezekiah was detailed and clear in exhorting
the Levites to no longer neglect any or all of what the Lord had called them to
do. The Lord chooses us as well. He sends reminders when we, like these
Levites, begin to become negligent in the positions of influence and responsibility
He has given us. When we neglect the
assignments the Lord has given us, it will not only affect us, but the entire
kingdom around us. This might be a good
time to bow your head, recommit your life to the Lord, ask Him to help you not
be negligent and seek to be faithful in all He has chosen for you. The Lord has chosen us, let us responds with
faithfulness and fervor.
