38,000 Levites; 24,000 of them working in the house of the LORD; 6,000 officers and judges; 4,000 gatekeepers; and 4,000 to offer praises to the LORD with instruments. That's a lot of people serving in Jerusalem! Imagine - someone always on duty - in service - to the LORD - at the LORD's temple.
Can you imagine if we took service to the LORD so seriously, today? May our lessong today be a reminder to all of us that the LORD has entrusted His people (us) with His Word and Sacraments. We are to care for them diligently, sharing them with all honor and respect with all whom He has called. Faithful Worship should be the center of our lives, not an after thought or relegated to when we have nothing better to do.
