the Small and the Great
The small as well as the great : 1 Chronicles 26:13 King David had families cast lots; in this way the LORD decided the gatekeepers to the temple. Organized these offices, and didn't let prestige or position affect it. We don't cast lots, but seek the direct guidance of the Spirit. Choosing men for offices for the church of God isn't about privilege or appearance. We are concerned with the temple of the heart. We are the gatekeeper. Others will try to pour both light and dark, love and evil thoughts into our soul. In the history of the inner life there is so much going and coming; pour into the shrine of the soul, and pour out. And OFTEN, disloyal and evil thoughts intrude, which, before we know it, introduce a sense of distance and alienation from God.
