DAILY READINGS: Nehemiah 4; Haggai 1; Revelation 9
My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to
stand before Him, to serve Him, and that ye should minister unto
Him, and burn incense. 2 Chronicles 29:11
Ahaz had reigned 16 years in Jerusalem, and he did not honour the
Lord. Then Hezekiah came to the throne, with a desire to please the
Lord. The temple had to be cleansed. The priests had to be sanctified.
The sacrifices had to be resumed. It was a lot of work! But God is particular.
The road to recovery is not an easy one. There are no shortcuts
for God. Negligence will not do. If you would be revived, you
need to begin the cleansing process today. —Doug Kazen
My Master, lead me to Thy door; pierce this now willing ear once more:
Thy bonds are freedom; let me stay with Thee to toil, endure, obey. —Anon.
