Sorry for the technical difficulties of today’s post. Thank you for your patience.

Sometimes We Need To Rededicate Ourselves

Then the Levites went to King Hezekiah and gave him this report: “We have cleansed the entire Temple of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the Bread of the Presence with all its utensils.”
2 Chronicles 29:18

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

The Work of the Temple Resumes

  • The work of and worship in the Temple had stopped.  Hezekiah changed all that.
  • He reopened the Temple and repaired its doors. (2 Chronicles 29:3)
  • They removed the defiled things in the Temple. (2 Chronicles 29:5b)
  • The priests purified themselves. (2 Chronicles 29:15)
  • They priests purified Israel by making sacrifices. (2 Chronicles 29:24)
  • They were careful to obey all of the instructions of the Lord. (2 Chronicles 29:15b)
  • They recovered the defiled items of the Temple. (2 Chronicles 29:19)
  • They removed idols at home. (2 Chronicles 31:3)
  • They praised and worshiped Him (2 Chronicles 29:30, 35)

Something New

Dedicate: to devote (oneself, one’s time, etc) wholly to a special purpose or cause; commit wholeheartedly or unreservedly

Rededicate: to devote (oneself, one’s time, etc) wholly to a special purpose or cause; commit wholeheartedly or unreservedly again.

  • Reopen-allow God keep the door to your heart
  • Repair-allow God to repair your heart
  • Remove- let the Holy Spirit help you remove the idols of your heart
  • Recover-allow God to recover the sacred that has been defiled and discarded- self-worth, value, integrity, honor, faithfulness, truthfulness, dignity

Something to Do

Daily rededicate myself.

  1. Thanks Wendy for this lesson. My something to do- is to rededicate my life to God everyday and surrender all. Surrendering to God isn’t something that you do just once it is something you have to do all the time. I have surrendered all to God but sometimes I feel like I start holding tightly to my dreams and desires again and I become in control again and not God. Surrendering is a constant thing in my life. God is in control.

  2. My Takeaways: Hezekia’s Spiritual Revival

    Something Old: “In all that he did in the service of the Temple and in his efforts to follow God’s law and the commands, Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.” (31:21)
    It only takes one person to make a difference Hezekiah was that one person. Yes, he was the King, but his leadership led those who followed him to do likewise.

    Something New: Before Hezekiah reached the kingdom, he started with his city; and before he reached his city, he started with a small group- the priest and theLevites. It only took one believing heart, who had a great relationship with God to bring the people back into a spiritual awakening.I can start small by influencing those around me. When they see my positive energy it should inspire them to inspire others.

    Something To Do: Remember what God can do with a eager heart! Be ready for action when opportunities arrive.
