Subject: Service to God - 2 Chronicles 29-32

2 Chronicles 29:34 (ESV Strong's)
But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had consecrated themselves, their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was finished—for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in consecrating themselves.

Subject:  Service to God

The above passage reveals something about those in the service of God we all should learn about and reflect upon in our own lives.   The Temple worship, under previous Kings, had fallen into disarray and dysfunction.    King Hezekiah had come onto the scenes and was determined to change that.  His reforms in worship would, eventually, be a catalyst for reforms in day-to-day life experiences.   We see just how bad Temple life had become in the above passage.   The priest had fallen into apathy.   The Levites were preparing themselves to lead the worship, but the priestly line had not.   The priest did not see the urgency to consecrate themselves for worship.  Hence when the crowds came and the hearts of the people were ready to worship, there were not enough priests to tend to the worship service.   Note what it says in the next chapter about the people of Ephraim and Manasseh wanting to observe the Passover in the proper month and having to wait:

2 Chronicles 30:3 (ESV Strong's)
for they could not keep it at that time because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem—

When those in service for The King are not ready to serve, those who come to worship are hindered from doing so.   If we are called to serve, we should consecrate ourselves for service to be ready to serve when called upon.
