"The king acted immediately, assembling all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. Then the king proceeded to The Temple of God, bringing everyone in his train—priests and prophets and people ranging from the famous to the unknown. Then he read out publicly everything written in the Book of the Covenant that was found in The Temple of God. The king stood by the pillar and before God solemnly committed them all to the covenant: to follow God believingly and obediently; to follow his instructions, heart and soul, on what to believe and do; to put into practice the entire covenant, all that was written in the book. The people stood in affirmation; their commitment was unanimous." 2 Kings 23:1-3 (Message)
Last night, 3trees Church marched into our new facility and, symbolically, through the door of our future. I heard it said that we approached the moment, "like an army". When I read the above verses, one sentence stood out amongst the rest: "The people stood in affirmation; their commitment was unanimous." 3trees Church stood unanimously last night and fell on our knees to seek God's forgiveness for where we may have failed in the past, to praise Him for all He has done, and to pledge our commitment to His will for our future. We did it without announcement, without ceremony, and without recognition. We did it only for God. For this, I believe we received the attention of heaven. Truly, greater things are yet to come! In just a few days, we begin our journey. And, I believe, we can all agree---that it couldn't be more exciting!
