The temple, or the house of the Lord needs rebuilding in the book of Ezra. Sometimes the temple in our hearts where God dwells gets broken down, and the walls need to be rebuilt.
When the foundation was laid, a great shout of praise arises from the hearts of God's people. With praise and thanksgiving, they sang to the Lord, "He is good, his love to Israel endures forever." (chapter 3:11). This should be a natural expression when a new foundation is laid in our hearts, that of worship, praise and adoration to our God.
Once the temple is dedicated, 6:16 tells us that the people of Israel celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.
Do we rejoice when a new foundation is laid? It should be a common occurrence in our lives...
