1 Chronicles 24:1-25:31
The work of God was to be done ‘as the Lord God of Israel had commanded’ (24:19). The Lord is our Commander-in-Chief. No-one else can take His place. Never imagine you’re ‘the king of the castle’. We’re only sinners who’ve been saved by the grace of God. We’re ‘the dirty wee rascals’-’all our righteous acts are like filthy rags’(Isaiah 64:6). That’s what we are in ourselves - nothing more than ‘dirty wee rascals’. The Lord has done something wonderful for us. He has given us new clothes - ‘the clothes of salvation’(Isaiah 61:10). Let’s never ‘get too big for our boots’. There’s only one ‘King of the Castle’. Let us ‘exalt Him’- ‘You, O Lord are exalted for ever’(25:5; Psalm 92:8). ‘The Lord reigns...’. Let’s be content to be ‘Castle Kids’- ‘children of the living God’(Psalm 93:1; Romans 9:26).
