2 Chronicles 15:14-15
14They took an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns. 15All Judah rejoiced over the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around.
I think one of the things that inspires me the most about scripture is the enthusiasm that the people have – or at least the enthusiasm that’s reported. The oath that the people take with the Lord has them shouting and playing trumpets – and they all rejoice. They sought the Lord with their whole desire.
Some days all of that just seems like a lot of work – the loud voices and the trumpet and the shouting – not to mention the “whole desire” bit. But I guess that’s probably the point, right? Not that our faith feels like a lot of work, but rather that we should be enthusiastic and celebrating the promises and relationship we have with God.
WOOHOO!! Blow the trumpets! Shout, “Alleluia!” Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Peace (with a big dose of enthusiasm!),
Pastor Jenn
