They numbered 288. (1 Chronicles 25:7)David set aside 288 men to serve as singers in the new temple. 288 vocalists divided into 24 groups of 12.
What else can be evenly divided into 24 units? Hmmm... a day? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Congratulations! Johnny, tell him what he's won. You bet, Bob. You've won a BRAND NEW CAR!!! [1]
It has been conjectured that these 24 12-member worship teams each served 1-hour shifts every day lifting up their voices in praise to God, so that worship was offered continuously in Solomon's Temple.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. They rejoice in your name all day long, they exult in your righteousness (Psalm 89:15,16).
Worship. It's not just for Sunday anymore.
How could you develop a lifestyle of worship?
[1] Just to be clear - no one is getting a new car.
