1 Chron. 6

Upon hearing the account of how cities were allotted for the Kohathite music leaders in the worship system of Judah, I think back of God’s faithfulness to me and my family.

As a young worshiper employed by the church to serve in music, I figured I would never be a wealthy man. That was entirely OK. Looking back, I can gratefully say God has ALWAYS provided a suitable living and gracious places to live, just as He did for the Old Testament Levites who also served in music.

One memory is of our first staff apartment when we were with CFNI in Dallas. Across the street from us was an apartment complex that had frequent visits from the police. Our neighbor had his kitchen door penetrated with bullets. Yet, all of us slept in bedrooms facing the street with our heads near the windows. We never had a scratch.

Yes, we’ve moved more than our share of times, but we always had a nice place to live. Early on, God told me He’d give me a place to live if I gave HIM a place to live … in my heart and life.

You are holy; You make Your home on the praises of Israel. [Ps. 22:3 The VOICE]
