1 Chronicles 24 is a list of names from the Levites. Nothing really jumps out from the list other than the fact “They served in this appointed order…..following the procedures laid down”. Sometimes following direction is the best thing to do. I have to admit that my style is more to be outside those lines, but in some cases, probably many cases, obeying the rules and following the procedures is a good thing. Aaron had taken the direction from God on how the Levites were to act. So in reality, these folks were obeying God’s direct orders. That is always a good thing for us to do. We need to be tuned in and on track with what God has in store for us. Are you a rule follower? Do you walk in obedience to the rules set forth? Do you know the rules so you can obey them? Sometimes we want to plead ignorance to even what the rules are. But God has given us a huge percentage of what we need to know in His word. Are you in the Word so you know what and how to obey? The Levites set the standard for us here – and we need to set the standard for those we lead. We are not our own, we were bought with a price and we need to be focused on walking with Him in that relationship of obedience, following the procedures He laid down for us. Let it be so in your life and mine…………
