In 1947, Dr. Chandrasekhar, professor of astrophysics at the University of Chicago, was scheduled to teach an advanced seminar. He lived in Wisconsin at the time, but he planned to drive in the dead of winter, twice a week, to the class. When only 2 students signed up for the class, everyone expected him to cancel. But all winter, twice a week, he made the 100-mile trip for just 2 students, each of whom later won the Nobel Prize.
Dr. Chandrasekhar, a Nobel Prize winner himself, understood the matter of faithfulness. The response or commitment of the students did not dictate his actions. He had promised to teach the class, and that is exactly what he did.
In the verses of our text, we have a list of the officers who served in David's court along with the duties each carried out. It must have been a great honor to be chosen by the king for a place of service. Can you imagine if David the King were to call on you to fulfill some office in his administration? It would be a great honor.
Can you imagine looking out your window and down your driveway and seeing the camels and chariots coming? Can you imagine coming down your driveway seeing the royal robes and Kingly assembly headed to your house? Why because the king has chosen you to do a job!
I remember well, the day when, WHEN THE KING OF GLORY came to me. GOD in mercy extended a CALL on MY LIFE to PREACH HIS GOSPEL.
I come to preach to you ... that THE KING STILL CHOOSES men and women to serve Him! WHAT A HOLY BLESSING to be used of the Lord!
I want you to think about this list of officials from David's kingdom ... and HOW THEY TEACH US so ...
