“All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and Yahweh’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying,
“For he is good;
for his loving kindness endures for ever.”” – 2 Chronicles 7:3
When I read this verse, I envision the awe and reverence the children of Israel experienced as they witnessed the fire of Yahweh’s glory descending upon the house, prompting them to bow down in worship and thanksgiving.
2 Chronicles 7:3 reminds us of the goodness and enduring love of the Lord, inspiring us to respond with humility and gratitude in our own lives. Just as the Israelites worshipped and acknowledged God’s faithfulness, we too can cultivate a heart of thankfulness and praise towards Him for His unchanging love and mercy.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we bow before You in reverence and gratitude for Your goodness and everlasting love. Help us to continually give thanks and worship You with humble hearts. May Your presence and glory fill our lives each day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
