Man of God

Scripture:

 “Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their assistants organized two choirs of Levites to offer praises to God, just as King David, the man of God, had commanded.” ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭12:24‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Nehemiah had instructed everyone to re-establish the city of Jerusalem. He gave God’s people exactly what needed to be done. In this passage he makes reference to establishing two choirs of Levites to offer praises, “Just as King David, the man of God, had commanded.” David was known as a great king, probably the most remembered king in Israel’s history, but he was also known as “the man of God.”

Application:

Throughout my life, I have desired to be a “man of God.” More than any other title, “man of God” has always appealed to me. More than “pastor” or “evangelist” or anything else, I long to be a man of God. More than being known as a great leader, I want to be known as a man of God. I want that first and foremost, above every other title. 

Prayer:

Lord, more than anything else in life,, I want to be a man of God. I want my life to reflect You and I want to live for Your glory. I want to walk with You and hear Your heart. I long to know what You are thinking and to live in Your presence. I long to live in the secret place of the most high. I long to hear Your voice and know Your heart.

Your Son,

Jeff
