Dear family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
This is such an AWESOME Devo from RBC Ministries!
READ: 1 Chronicles 25:1-8
Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor in charge of the music, because he was skillful. —1 Chronicles 15:22
When Jason was asked to sing at a church he was visiting, he was delighted to participate even though he wasn’t asked until a few minutes before the service started. He chose a familiar hymn, “To God Be the Glory,” because it was a song that was especially meaningful to him. He practiced it a few times in the church basement and sang it without accompaniment in the church service.
Several weeks later, Jason learned that some people in the church didn’t appreciate his ministry. They thought he was showing off. Because they did not know him, they wrongly assumed that he was singing to impress them, not to honor the Lord.
From the Old Testament we learn that God appointed people with skill to be involved in temple worship. From construction workers to worship leaders—people were chosen based on their skill (1 Chron. 15:22; 25:1,7).
The Lord gave each of us different talents and spiritual gifts to be used for His glory (Col. 3:23-24). When we serve with that purpose, not to lift up ourselves, we don’t need to be concerned with what others think. God gave His very best to us—His Son Jesus—and we honor Him by giving our best to Him. —Julie Ackerman Link
The Master needs what you have to offer,
No matter if you think it’s small;
His work on earth is done through His children,
So give Him your best, give your all. —Hess
We are at our best when we serve God from our hearts.
What an excellent Devotional! Amen!
Yes my friends, it’s all about God!
My life verse as many as you know is: My life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24

Stay in the favor of God………..stay in it………..I was told yesterday by a Pastor of a large Church that I am a mentor for him……that I am a Godly example for him……..I was telling him the same thing! I bring this up because it is easy for us to be swung to the left or right as praise comes in from man…….but we take it as Godly encouragement, words spoken to us by Godly people that we are on the right road…….we are so thankful for encouraging words, we all need them, but they need to be sincere.
Kind words are like honey
