Directly opposite to this, Genesis 22:9-12 gives the process
when we obey God and do everything as He wants. He shows that He is pleased by
giving us the desires of our heats (Psalms 37:4) and again and again in 1
Samuel 1:11-28, 2 Samuel 23:16, and 2Chonicles 7:16. This is not always an easy
road. It may mean sacrificing what we love the most as in Judges 11:30-42 when
Jephthah promised God that he would give Him what ever came out His door if God
would grant him victory. Which he did, and what came out of Jephthah’s door was
his only child, his daughter. Imagine how hard that was to have to give up your
only child because of a vow you made to God. Nevertheless he made good on the
vow.
What does dedication
of temples and people indicate? It indicates our worship is all about
God. It indicates that even if the first covenant God made with His people
didn’t work because of His people, The second one surely does, because our
lives are dedicated to God through the blood of Christ. (Hebrews 10:20)
