SCRIPTURE: 1 Sam. 18; 1 Chr. 6; Ps. 11; Matt. 3

And these are the places where the priestly families were assigned to live.

1 Chronicles 6:54

OBSERVATIONS: The priests and their families were assigned places to live. The parallels to our way of life in the United Methodist Church are pretty easy to spot. Today, I got my letter of return from the District Office.

APPLICATION: Joey, your assignment is to more than a church. You are assigned a city, a region. See all the people. Serve all the people.

PRAYER: God, for the gift of service, I am grateful. For the failures I have committed, I am sorry. Lead me to the people of this place who need your grace the most, who need your acceptable favor most.
