KEY VERSE: “And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron” (2 Chronicles 29:16).
TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 29:12-19
House cleaning is an old and beneficial practice whose essence is beyond maintaining the visual appeal of living space. It involves proper cleaning and organisation of the environment and other measures taken to enhance health, well-being, safety, and aesthetics. Neglect of this often proves disastrous in the end.
King Hezekiah embarked on a unique sort of house cleansing as soon as he ascended the throne. He opened the door of the temple that his father had shut and sought a return to the true worship of God. He summoned the Levites whose duty it was to keep the temple, and charged them to cleanse the house of God, recognising that his father perpetrated so much evil there.
The Levites were prompt in their response; they gathered, and underwent a process of personal cleansing first, recognising that those who come to equity must come with clean hands. They then proceeded into the inner parts of the temple and discovered monumental uncleanness there. They brought out those unclean things and dumped them in the river, Kidron. It took all of eight days for the house, the altar, and all the vessels to be cleansed. Once done, they informed the king that the task had been accomplished, and the temple was now ready for the service of the Lord.
As believers, we need a similar cleansing, not of the physical temple but of ourselves as the temples of the Holy Ghost. We can no longer lay claim to our lives, nor can we do as we please. God distastes any form of impurity in our lives. As we examine ourselves, if we perceive any uncleanness, we must take steps immediately to be cleansed by acknowledging (not rationalizing), confessing, and relinquishing our hold on sin. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Constantly doing this is the only way to maintain sound spiritual health, well-being, and safety.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no greater treasure than a pure heart.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 12 – 13
