2 chronicles 31
Wow, so good to see Judah firing on all cylinders as the King and other leaders give directions in appropriate worship, giving, sacrifice and service and the people respond in kind. What a blessing righteousness is as the people believe and obey. And how nice when things are structured and organized the way they should be. I imagine it was refreshing to do what was right as opposed to doing what was wrong in worshipping false idols, and knocking down those idols as well. How good it is to know that God’s hand is upon us when they and we do the same.
Refreshing to see things being handled faithfully and in respect to God’s laws. Also wonderful to see both the people tithing and the leadership acting with integrity especially with those tithes. We are to be good stewards of everything God blesses us with we are too give back to Him what is already His and not squander, waste, or use it inappropriately. We are to be a generous people using what we have been blessed with to bless others.
Psalm 18; 2 Chronicles 31; Ezra 8
Job 14-16
2 Chronicles 31
2nd Chronicles 31
“Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.”
II Chronicles 31:20-21 NKJV
