It is times like these that I really appreciate this Read The Bible Through system! It is hard to be refreshed by the listing of the gate keepers of the temple in 1 Chronicles. I know God has included it in His Word for His purposes and I'm good with that. However, coming up with a devotional thought based on this passage that is worth reading is a tall order that is best left to greater minds than mine!
Ahh, but with this system not only do I get to read about the list of men charged with singing praise in the temple morning and night, I also get to read a Psalm that actually leads me in praise to the Almighty God. I get to imagine for a moment that I am in that heavily guarded temple with the ancient men of Israel. I can participate with them in exulting our God together!
It is sort of like having a music download in your own Bible! Read a passage, and there is a Psalm set as a soundtrack to it!
Psalm 89:29-34 - Is a very reassuring Psalm. It teaches us that God is faithful even when we are not. More than that, it teaches that God is faithful in spite of our treachery. I am appalled at my own foolishness, and admittedly I am embarrassed at times to approach His throne... knowing I deserve judgment, but also knowing I am now under no condemnation because of what Christ has done for me.
This Psalm does an excellent job of reminding me of who I am in Christ Jesus, while at the same time reminding me the expectations that come with living up to that Name! Reader & writer beware.
