New Beginnings

Rebuilding With Praise

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

Ezra 3:11

· · ·

When the foundation was laid for rebuilding the temple, the people responded with praise.

After years of exile, the returned remnant began rebuilding with worship. They praised God for His goodness and enduring mercy even before the temple was complete. Their praise marked the beginning of restoration, showing that gratitude and worship are the right foundation for new beginnings.

Begin your new ventures with praise, thanking God for His goodness before you see the completion.

Lord, You are good and Your mercy endures forever. I praise You at the foundation of this new beginning, trusting You for the completion. Amen.
