I am the Lord Your God

What amazes me is that the God of power is also the God of love. And He made that choice. God is love and God is choosing to love and to be the God who loves beyond measure. While as God He is righteous, He is performing acts of righteousness out of love for us. His righteousness is for love not the other way around. Righteousness is the act of pure love. Just as David's love for Jonathan was pure and his concern out of pure love, God's love is pure, and His concern genuine. (2 Sam 1:26)

Teach me to teach (part 3)

The Levites also showed how not to follow, that is by not hastening when they were so instructed by God through Joash to gather money to repair God's house. (2 Chronicles 24:5) But then they obeyed God and were blessed. (2 Chronicles 24:11) and as men of God who were the leaders commanded the Levites to bring various items into His house (offerings and vessels specifically) (2 Chronicles 34:9; Ezra 8:29-33)

Teach me to teach (part 2)

And David himself appointed specifically Levites to praise and ministered to God's ark,where His word was held. The Levites or specific members of the tribe were in charge of the vessels and instruments of the sanctuary (1 Chronicles 9:26-29). as well as clothing and jewels (1 Chronicles 29:8) Again it was delegated to certain of the Levites. And the leadership was passed down from David to Solomon to see God's will was carried out. (1 Chronicles 29)

Teach me so that I may teach

The Levites were separated to carry God's Word. (Numbers 10:8) As Christians we are separated from the world to carry His Word in season and out of season. (Ephesians 4:2-4) David knew if God said to do something a certain way it had better be done that way. (1 Chronicles 15:2). And because of His help, the Levites felt as though they could carry the responsibility. (1 Chronicles 15:26)
