2 Chron. 33, 34

Young King Josiah did a remarkable job of restoring God’s House. He commissioned skilled workers to perform the task of recovering from ruin the temple. He assigned the musical Levites to supervise the work

As a young man, I was the equivalent of a musical Levite. We built a large sanctuary at Hope Temple in Findlay Ohio. It would seat 2300 people. We filled it at large seasonal musical presentations. I remember working sometimes 14-15 hour days in its construction. I was the painter. Stain, varnish, wall paint … I did it all. We all worked hard and were proud of our accomplishment. Sadly, that building burned down in 1989 in one hour due to an electrical malfunction.?!?

The lesson I learned was that the only building worth investing in is the lives of God’s people, His True Sanctuary.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. [3 Jn. 1:4]
