Our Goal...

12 And the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons and brothers—were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words:

“He is good!
His faithful love endures forever!”

At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. 14 The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple of God.

2 Chronicles 5:12-14

Vision (...in process...)

In 1 Chronicles 22-29, we read of David, unable to build a house for the Lord, doing extensive planning and preparation for Solomon to build the Temple. David had this thing organized from the materials to the musicians to the gatekeepers. Out of love and reverence, David thoroughly thought out each step and process, each instrument and design. He gave His best. He deliberately set things in motion for the worship and work of the Temple. He worshiped God!

God is challenging me through these passages...am I giving my best? Am I being cavalier in my preparation to worship? Am I pursuing excellence in the gifts God has given me? Am I worshiping?

I believe these are needful questions, and I look forward to communicating to you what God shows me.

One in Christ,
