My sons, do not be negligent now; for the Lord has chosen you to stand before Him and serve Him, to minister before Him and to burn incense.

Significance of 2 Chronicles 29:11


Well, the word is out. We are being called to stand before Him and serve Him, to minister before Him and burn incense. It's not that we have not been doing this already, it's just that He is asking us to go and do this. So, I will soon be leaving my job and we will be looking for a place to serve our Lord. It's kind of a neat position to be in. Here we are God. Where should we go? At this point, that could mean going a mile down the road or going across the world. We're not sure. But we are ready. God has been so gracious in His leading us to do this. It has been a gradual pull away from "things" and moving our whole family to a place where we are open to whatever He has. We're all tempted to fear. There are so many questions that are not answered. But there is also peace. We know that the "burn incense" part, which is representative of our prayers, is so very important in all of this. We will not hesitate to ask friends and family for prayer. And we will be in prayer more than ever. "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." Lord, the only thing I know to do right now is to cry out to You and to trust that You hear me and that You will catch and hold us. Thank You for the victory that is Yours. Thank You that we need not worry. This is all a God idea, not a good idea. We want to praise You. We want to know You. We want to see Your face. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty!
