1st Chronicles 15:13. “And because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.” DUE ORDER. There is an order in the things of God – nothing should ever be careless For God Himself is a God of order – everything He does has a purpose. The creation attests to the fact He knows best how things reveal His design. The nature of material; the seasons of life and the designations of time – Unfold a character that is always suited to what is best for all – Nothing God does is haphazard – especially the Gospel call.
The ark was to be borne by men suited to do this special work for Him. They were identified carefully for God had chosen them To sanctify themselves to be ready to carry that ark so holy. God dwelt with His people and the ark symbolized His presence was there truly. Due order was needed; strong shoulders to bear, and men united together, That the testimony of God would be made clear and plain as God with His people did gather.
So today there are those who are trustworthy in the things of God. Those who deal publicly in presenting the truth have an important load. What is to be done is made plain by God’s word revealing to men; Each individual needs to be aware that God chose him to represent Him Who is supreme over all, God bless`ed forever – It is a matter of life or death and the message changes never.
Those who represent all of us when it is God’s truth they shoulder, Should be humble in their spirit and never get bolder – Because they have been chosen to speak of such holy things, Due order is expected in service and when our worship brings To God what He desires as we speak of Him to our own generation – Knowing that what is at stake is eternal life or the soul’s damnation.
“Sometimes Father, I fear I don’t handle Thy things as a life or death matter. Maybe that was why last night I didn’t seem to be able to appropriately present Thy Word. I am sorry for that failure. I pray this morning that I will be able to give these isolated saints something from Thee that will do them good. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
