The Divine Tapestry
PART 126

Lord, Preserve This Passion!



1 Chronicles 29:10-22



Presented by
Pastor Justin Greene
September 14, 2014



Steve Lawson writes, Ascending the throne at age
four, Louis XIV ruled as king of France for seventy-two
years, the longest reign in modern European history.
Consumed with his own power, he called himself the
Great Monarch and declared, I am the State! But in
1715, King Louis XIV abdicated his throne to death.

His funeral was nothing short of spectacular. The
great cathedral was packed with mourners paying final
tribute to their king, who lay in a solid gold coffin. To
dramatize the deceased rulers greatness, a solitary
candle burned above his coffin. Thousands waited in
hushed silence as they peered at the exquisite casket
that held the mortal remains of their monarch.

2
At the appointed time the funeral service began, and
Bishop Massillon, who preside ever this official act of
state, stood to address the mourners, including the
assembled clergy of France. When the bishop rose,
he did something that stunned the nation.

Bending down from the pulpit, he snuffed out the lone
candle representing Louis XIVs greatness. The
people gasped. Then, in the darkness, came just four
words from behind the open Bible:

Only God is great!
1


It is our nature, as humans, to give our wealth, energy,
and honor to that which is earthbound. Though we
may intend to live for heaven, our hearts seem welded
here.

In 1 Chronicles, King David witnesses an amazing
moment where the Lords people gladly gave their
goods and glory to God. Davids response? Lord,
preserve this passion!











3
THE CHRONICLES

Ancient rabbis taught this book was written by Ezra



Focuses on the Davidic line



Could be outlined:

Gods chosen People (1 Chronicles 1-9)



Gods chosen King (1 Chronicles 10-29)



Gods chosen Son (2 Chronicles 1-9)



Gods chosen Dynasty (2 Chronicles 10-36)



1 Chronicles has a theme as its undercurrent ... God
Keeps His Promises!
4
PRESERVE THIS...


David was in awe of Israels generous acts of worship:
Their worship was born from a magnificent
view of God.







Their worship was born from a proper view of
the nature and brevity of life.













5
Their worship was born out of a proper view of
blessing and things.











THE PRAYER


Lord ... help us to keep this passion.





Lord ... help us to make it about You.
