Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 May 19

“And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters. So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel. And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful” (1 Chronicles 15:16-22).

Today’s Morsel:  One of the most important positions, I feel, in the church is that of the worship leader.  This position was as important in the temple as the other duties that the priest and Levites were required to do. Some have said that Satan was the worship leader in heaven before God kicked him out.  Scripture says, “And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.”  And the man who was responsible for this was Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, who was for song: he instructed about the song because he was skillful. His name means Jah has planted.  Jehovah, the Lord has put him there.  The worship leader should see their selection to this position as from God, they represent God, and they should be skilled in music and song, as they are responsible for ushering in the presence of the Lord through music and song.

Sing:  I worship You, Almighty God, there is none like You.  I worship You, oh Prince of Peace, that is what I long to do.  I give you praise, for You are my Righteousness.  I worship You, Almighty God, there is none like You.

Thought For Today:  What’s that I hear?
