Ezra chapter 3
www.biblegateway.com
Well the begining is pretty confusing talking about two men who decided to go against common practice and build an alter despite the fear they had of some other people (I dont really understand why they'd be afraid but i guess we'll just go with it) Well one thing that hit me, altho this part is rather confusing, is that despite their fear they were willing to go against it and worship God no matter the Odds.
As you go along the chapter makes more and more sense
So the two men try to build a foundation for the temple and begin to hire men to use their trade to offer help
well something was striked me as different in the last few verses yet I dont know how to put it into words...
10 When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise the LORD, as prescribed by David king of Israel. 11 With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD :
"He is good;
his love to Israel endures forever."
And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. 12 But many of the older priests and Levites and family heads, who had seen the former temple, wept aloud when they saw the foundation of this temple being laid, while many others shouted for joy. 13 No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away.
So decifer it for yourself - Instead of a prayer I'd like to leave you with a question
Is it that everyone worships differently or that not everyone has been whitness to the true extent of worship? I've seen both ways and both ways are fine but is it really different tastes in worship or just ignorance?
"Love the lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your might and love all man kind as you would love yourslef and looove... :] "
sorry today was so short but ive been cut short - Good Night and God Bless
