In the 9th chapter of 1 Chronicles, the genealogies of those exiled from Israel because of their lack of faith in God, was laid out.
As the people returned to God's land of Israel, each was given duties. Each duty could be large, from a gatekeeper of a city or a doorkeeper to a Tent, to those in charge of eating utensils.
The Levites seemed to be in charge of great responsibilities, as in the treasures in the Lord's Temple. They were also in charge of music. This latter service gave them the freedom to not be assigned other services, as their duty could be held day or night.
Reflect on your own duties in this way. Each and every one of us has strengths and weaknesses, abilities one may have a natural aptitude for when compared to skills one can't seem to grasp. Do you know anyone who has a "green thumb"? No matter what, this person can plant anything under any condition. Others without this skill can't make anything grow, even in the most ideal conditions.
What do you seem to be good at, something that you're motivated to do? Or, it could be, something that comes natural and you don't even know it.
