DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 31; Ezekiel 47; 1 John 1 to 2:11
When the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also. 2 Chronicles 29:27
When Hezekiah became king of Judah, he inherited a nation in spiritual disaster. Ahaz, his father had cut in pieces the articles of the house of God, shut its doors, and made altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem. But that did not deter the new leader. From the start, he set out to serve the Lord, and sanctify those that ministered the sacrifices. When it was done, proper worship began and the “song of the Lord began also”. It was a national revival and it began with one person who dedicated himself to the work of the Lord in the way He prescribed. When we do the same, we will be singing too. —Mark Kolchin
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since I am His—How can I keep from singing?
—Robert Lowry
