It doesn\u2019t state why he was picked out as being blessed and I\u2019m sure the others have been blessed by God for they were Levites.  I wonder what he did to have this distinct honor.  He must have served God better than the rest and had a heart for the Lord and God wanted him to stand out to show others if you give your life to the Lord he\u2019ll reign down blessings.  I\u2019m not sure if that\u2019s it, but it sure sounds like my Lord, grow nearer to God and he\u2019ll draw closer to you.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I deserve no blessings.  I lived most of my life far apart from God and even now that I have drawn closer to my Lord I still sin each day, but He blesses me so much.  I need to try harder to be faithful to my God.  I\u2019ll never earn His blessings or be worthy, but He deserves the best I have no matter what I receive in return, because this beggar deserves nothing from the King, but He deserves all that I am.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My King and my Lord I thank you for all of the many blessings this lowly servant as received out of you love for me.  I need help staying on course of what you desire.  I will never be worthy Lord, but help me be the man that pleases you, a man after your own heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 1 Chron 26:5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him.
