There is beauty in progress. Well before the completion of the temple, we see Israel rejoicing and weeping at simply the foundation of the temple being completed. They did not need to see the finished project in order to recognize and praise God for His faithfulness and enduring love. We too are free to worship. We are free to worship as we walk with God, as we lay the foundation for an eternity spent with Him. We are free to worship as we progress in our ministries, marriages, parenting, education, work, and so forth. We are free to worship God before seeing the finished product.
