Suddenly

So the service of Yahweh's temple was established. Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over how God had prepared the people, for it had come about suddenly." - 2 Chronicles 29:35-36

When Hezekiah decided to reestablish the service of God's temple, the process was pretty involved and laborious. It included the removal of all the idolatrous articles, reunification of all the priests, and a multitude of animal sacrifices. Yet, one thing, according to the Word, didn't take much time.  It came about suddenly.

By the unfettered power of God, the people's hearts were changed, transformed to accomplish the task.

While God is able to change a heart in an instant, the working out of that transformation may take some time. What God accomplishes inside must eventually find form outside and this is often where spirit and flesh lock horns. This is often where "sweat equity" is accumulated.

If it is your heart's desire to glorify God in Christ Jesus, do the work. Remove the idols. Make the sacrifices. Personal and corporate renewal will come no other way.

Transformation literally means going beyond your form. - Wayne Dyer
