Choice, Able, Outstanding
They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.

Chronicles 5:9-13
heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders. . . 1 Chronicles 7:40
Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish,
of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years. After removing Saul,
he made David their king. He testified concerning him: I have found David
son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him
to do.
"From this mans descendants God has brought to Israel the Saviour
Jesus, as he promised. Acts 13:2123
¶ See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice.
Each
man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like
streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty
land. Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the
ears of those who hear will listen. The mind of the rash will know and
understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
No longer
will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil: He practises ungodliness
and spreads error concerning the LORD; the hungry he leaves empty and from
the thirsty he withholds water. The scoundrels methods are wicked,
he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea
of the needy is just.

But the noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds
he stands. Isaiah
32:1-8
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. 1Cor 15:58
Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of
Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives
himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride
in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should
carry his own load. Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share
all good things with his instructor. Do not be deceived: God cannot be
mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful
nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please
the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Let us not become weary
in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not
give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Gal 6
Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers,
even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church about
your love.
You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy
of God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving
no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show hospitality to such
men so that we may work together for the truth. 3 John 5-8
Every big and small act of faithful obedience is important in ways you can barely imagine! There were not two Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane only one to accomplish Gods will pause and think about it. What God tells you to do, He generally tells no other to do.
