Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with motivated zeal:
“The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods. But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him? Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled craftsmen, whom my father David provided.”
(2 Chronicles 2:5-7)
Skill matters, doesn’t it, Jesus?
Though some disagree:
“So long as a person’s heart is right, that’s all that matters.”
They’re wrong.
A right heart does come first.
But if I don’t devote myself to offer You my very best
my heart’s not right.
