Assign someone to praise God each day! 1 Chronicles 20-24

David was refused by God the opportunity to build the temple. But, that didn't stop him from planning the building project or assigning those necessary to accomplish it! He told his son, Solomon, how to build it, gathered all the material and assigned people for different pieces of the project. One piece in 23:30 was to assign someone to "every morning to thank and to praise the LORD, and likewise at eveniing." What a glorious job this must have been. The Sons of Levi were giving the job to "thank and praise the LORD." Because believers have been made royal priest (1 Peter) we too have this responsibility and priviledge. We are to thank and praise God in the morning and, likewise, in the evening. This is to be our full time job. We can thank Him for our work ... as we work! We can thank Him for our family ... as we family. God is to be the focus of our day; morning to evening. God is to be thanked and praised. Do you take time to assign some time in your day to just praise Him and thank Him? Chances are if you don't schedule it and assign it you won't do it. We don't natually "feel" like praising God. We have to create some time and space in our daily lives to do this important aspect of spiritual worship. Let's praise and thank and worship Him!
