Today’s Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 3 December 2022
After removing all the filthiness from the Temple, it was now ready for rededication. The king ordered for sacrifices to be made according to the Levitical order (vs.22‐24). First, the priests, and then the Temple, were sanctified, the whole assembly gathered together to worship the Lord (vs.29,30, 36). The people came to rededicate themselves to the Lord. They came with gladness of heart and rejoiced and sang praises to God. Notice the posture of the king and his people before the Lord (vs.28‐30).
We should come before the Lord in complete humility. He is an awesome God. Have you noticed the joy with which the Jews always worship their God? How does that compare with worship in your Christian assembly? Whether you use older liturgies or a newer approach to worship, it ought to flow from a heart full of praise to God who is good and great. It should therefore be done in a manner befitting His glory. God delights in the worship of His people (John 4:23,24).
