TRUE SONS OF GOD GUARD THE HOUSE - 24

Men, thieves have robbed the house of God of almost every good thing. In 2 Kings 24:13 we read that the king of Babylon "carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord."

Gold was plentiful in the house of the Lord for it represented the preciousness and divinity of God. We read in 2 Chronicles 3:3-13 that almost all of the inside of temple was covered with gold. And everything in the Holy of Holies was overlaid in pure gold. Even the nails were made of gold (1 Kings 6:19-22 and 2 Chronicles 3:9). Sad to say, because of the backsliding of the nation, they were robbed of every precious thing.

The enemy never gives up trying to rob the house of God of His precious treasures. The gold of truth has been robbed. The gold of faith has been robbed. The gold of prayer has been robbed. And the gold of purity and holiness has been robbed.

We should be ashamed and confounded for we have been robbed of God's precious gifts. And we have replaced them with the fake, the false, and the counterfeit.

Be encouraged.
