Take Your Job Seriously

by Courtney GilmoreUpdated on April 17, 2023May 8, 2021

Jesus came to do away with the priestly order of the Levites & usher in a new priesthood of believers. So now, all who have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, have been called into the priesthood. We are His servants & workers in His Kingdom. We too need to take our work seriously.

Filled with Glory

When He tells us to move, we need to move. When He tells us to be still, then we need to be still. The pattern of His movement in our own lives may also be unpredictable. We too need to trust Him & know that if He hasn’t moved yet, it is because He wants us where we are. Also, if He moves too quickly or takes us somewhere that we do not want to go, He is Lord. Whether we know it or not, we want to be wherever He takes us because that is where His Presence dwells. Being in His will is the most comforting & safe place to be.

Can you picture what the Holy Place & the Most Holy Place could have looked like? This was a beautiful & costly place! It was God’s dwelling place, HIS HOLY HOUSE. It had to be beautiful, because He is beautiful. It had to be costly, because His value is beyond measure. To be in His Presence is more valuable than any created thing!

After-all, it was His house & they were in His Presence!

1 Samuel 18

After David defeats Goliath and begins winning more battles, everyone starts praising Him. Additionally, Saul’s son and daughter also love David. All of this makes Saul very jealous and he starts scheming against David. But with every effort, Saul fails and David grows even more successful and loved. The Lord is for David and now against Saul.

If He is for you, then no one can stand against you. But if He is against you, then you are fighting a losing battle. God was for David and He made him successful in everything he did. But when Saul grew jealous and tried to destroy David, God went against Saul and wouldn’t let any of his schemes succeed. We want God on our side. But the only way to ensure that is to be on His side. We must align ourselves with Him. Then, He will be our greatest ally. But if we go against Him or His people then He will be against us.
