Our Duties As Children of the Lord

Scripture 1 Chron 23:30 to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

Observation: This scripture is part of the duties of the Levites, but this section is for all of God’s children. We should get up each morning and go in prayer thanking God for all that He has given us and praise Him for the wonderful Father that He is and then in the evening we should be in prayer before we go to sleep and thank Him for that days provision and protection. That is the minimum of our duties and it should be much more of a simple desire then something expected. This is something we should be doing out of love and overwhelming feeling of affection for our Lord.

Application: I need to expand my duties for my Lord to so much more than He asks of me. I should be doing everything out of my love for Him and not for self-gratification. My life should be all about my Lord’s desires for me and what pleases Him. This life is His given me on loan to see how it may glorify God.

Prayer: Lord help me glorify you. Rid me of this laziness and guide me on the path that will please you. Show me your ways and desires and command me in the duties you have placed aside for me to do. May I glorify you by the way I attend to my duties in glory in honor to you.
