Real Work For The Lord Emerges Out Of True Worship Of The Lord.

2 Chronicles 3:1-5:1
‘Work in the Temple of the Lord’(4:11; 5:1) is no ordinary work. This work is ‘most holy’(3:8,10; 4:22). Real work for the Lord emerges out of true worship of the Lord. If we are to be the Lord’s workers, we must first be His worshippers. Worship comes first. This is vitally important. Take away worship from the place of highest priority, and you have nothing left - nothing which can really be called the work of the Lord. You may have busy people, doing this, that and the other, but you will not have servants of the Lord doing the work of the Lord - without worship. We sometimes ask, “Where are the workers?”. God asks, “Where are the worshippers?”. Begin to worship the Lord. Keep on worshipping Him. Worship the Lord, and let Him show you ‘what you must do’(Acts 9:3-6).

As We Work For God, Let Us Never Forget To Thank Him And Praise Him.

1 Chronicles 22:2-23:32
We need visionaries. We need managers. We need workers. David was a visionary. He had the original idea of building the Temple. Solomon was a manager. Under his leadership, the vision became a reality. David was important - but he was only involved in the ‘preparation’ for the building of the Temple (22:5). Solomon was important - ‘He shall build a House for My Name’(22:9-10) - but he couldn’t do everything. The people were important. They were the workers. Without the workers, the work remains undone. Each of us must play our part. We must ‘do the work for the service of the House of the Lord’(23:24). In this work, there is something we must never forget - ‘thanking and praising the Lord’(23:30). David, Solomon, the people - they were all important. More important is the Lord. We need Him.
