Where there is a need, God fulfills it. The gatekeepers and treasurers were assigned to duty by casting lots, which is similar to drawing names at Christmas time, but they used rocks with distinctive markings; maybe they wrote names on the stones; then someone was chosen to pick a rock, and whoever's name was on the rock was assigned to that particular duty. It was orderly and well-organized. However, it may seem like a game of chance, but when God is foremost in people's minds, nothing is by chance. When you realize that God carefully plans your life, you will be less likely to worry or fear about what comes next. The duties of the kingdom were meticulously designed to suit the families that were chosen to work in the areas God assigned to them. For this reason, you always hear the phrase "God qualifies the called." However, if you possess a specific skill set, you may be expected to utilize those skills and talents in your ministry or assignment, and again, nothing is by chance. If you love music, you will find that God gave you that love on purpose to be used in praising Him, and so on. Continue to hone your skills, and eventually you will be called upon by God to use them. Remember, it starts by you showing up for the small things, and if you are faithful in the small, God will add to that.

And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. 1 Chronicles 26:13
