The Levites: Their Geneological Records, Their Duties and Their Residential Assignments
Verse of the Day: “Their fellow Levites were assigned to all the other duties of the tabernacle, the house of God. But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all that was done in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for Israel, in accordance with all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.” (1 Chronicles 6:48-49 NIV 2011)

Prayer
> 3. How might I pray regarding 1 Chronicles 6?
O Great and Awesome God, You created everything that exists. Therefore, You have the right to superintend all aspects of people’s lives. In Your love and wisdom, You have given human beings the freedom of choice. In a free society, we can choose where we live, who we will marry, what our occupation will be, who will rule over us and what we do with and to our bodies. Only You know the ultimate consequences of our choices. Please give us the wisdom to acknowledge Your sovereignty, LORD God, and to cooperate with You and Your plans in every aspect of our lives. Only then will we be truly happy and able to bring You the glory You deserve, LORD. AMEN

- I will spend time each morning in “listening” for God’s direction for that day.
- I will set aside (put to death) my goals for my life and seek to fulfill (put on) God’s objectives instead.
- I will seek to serve God well wherever He has placed me today.
