"Men of valor... were officers... in all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.... for every matter pertaining to God, and the affairs of the king" (1 Chronicles 26:30,32). "They that trust in their wealth.... none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: for the redemption of their soul is precious" (Psalm 49:6-8). "Better us a little with righteousness than great revenues without right" (Proverbs 16:8).
In all the business of the Lord,
And in the service of the king,
Men of valor can't afford
To be ensnared by lesser things.
Yes, our busy world seems
To hold the most important cares;
But God alone the soul redeems,
So let this govern our affairs.
Better is God's righteousness,
Than all this world's revenue.
There's no better way to bless
Than letting Jesus shine through you.
