Often, the path to restoration and blessing from God is marked by setbacks and difficulty. The day that God told His people that He would bring them back to the Promised Land was marked by jubilation. When they got there and began to rebuild and reestablish worship, it was cause for unprecedented celebration (end of ch. 3). But the enemy was watching and began to hinder them (ch. 4).
Don't be shocked when God's kindness and grace is marked by adversity and trial. He is still there and the blessing is still to come!

I can't help but notice how God's people have such GREAT SHOUTS of praise. . loud. . with cymbals and all.. just at the laying of the FOUNDATION of the temple! I can't help but think of JESUS as the true foundation and us the Church being the ongoing builders of His "temple". Just can't get the worship song "...His love endures forever" out of my mind!
ReplyDeleteMight as well just put the headphones on and enjoy the song! Love it!
