The temple was to have glory, but the Israelites looked for physical glory when God WAS the glory
hey
Because of who God is (always good, always righteous, always faithful) we can trust Him to complete what He desires in us

“The key to tackling despondency is found here: stop listening to ourselves and start listening to him and his word of promise”

Not only could they take courage that God would be glorified as He had historically, He was with them

Transformed hearts should lead to transformed hands
True transformation and repentance leads us to action that glorifies God

God calls His people to fulfill the purpose that He rescued them for, to show His sovereignty and glory through a people who could not do the task themselves
hey
We have the responsibility to obey, God’s role is making it happen

The good news that rescued us was the work of God and will continue to be His work
