Is my name important?

I Chronicles 16:41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, “for his love endures forever.”

Each task related to worship in the tabernacle when the ark was brought back to Israel was assigned to specific people.  Asaph was in charge of praise, Obed-Edom and Hosah were gate-keepers, Zadok was in charge of the burnt offerings, and Heman and Jeduthun were responsible for sounding the trumps and other instruments.  No task was too simple or too unimportant to not be assigned, and everyone had a specific job to do that helped make the worship at the tabernacle a complete and orderly one for everyone who came to participate.  Although those in charge were named for us to know about them all these years later, there were many “associates” and “fellow priests” and “the rest of those chosen and designated by name” whom we do not know but who served faithfully.  Their service was equally important.  It is my faithful service to the Lord that matters, not whether my name is known or not.  I have been chosen by God by name and that is what matters.
