Upon considering the long lists of geneologies in the historical books of the Chronicles, one distinctive stands out. It’s the mention of “Positions of Trust” given to men who either guarded or ministered in the tabernacle. Ability, appearance, nor ambition were criteria. Trust was the focal priority.

My wife’s brother was offered an Executive VP position in the largest candy company in the world.  He once asked one of the owners why he was favored over more highly qualified candidates. The owner answered, “Because we knew we could trust you.”

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, You are worthy of our total trust. Work Your trust in us so we can be faithful.

DAILY READING: 1 Chron. 7-9
