A Service, not a Burden.
Bible Reading Today: 2 Kings 22-23, 2 Chronicles 34-35
and said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel, 2 Chronicles 35:3
King Josiah was someone who helped God's people get back in The Book again...they had forgotten The Word of God, served idols, and this young king had a mind & heart to bring people back to their first Love. He even had to encourage the holy, priestly Levites! We all need encouragement sometimes. We all need a reminder of THE WHY. Living a life for The Lord is an honor. It's a loving relationship. As the Scripture states, it's a service, not a burden! We live differently on purpose, for a purpose. In the above Scripture, an ark needed to be restored to the house of The Lord...and just maybe, a Spiritual ark needs to be placed in every one of our hearts as well...repenting, getting baptized & receiving the Holy Ghost are the keys to our own restoration, revival & salvation! Let's have a mind & heart like king Josiah and enjoy the service while laying down the burden!

Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
