The One Year Bible - Day 213

Do you ever have arguments at work about following processes? There tend to be people who follow them to the letter and others who take them "more as a guide"! Well Hezekiah ends up celebrating the passover at the wrong time because the preparations started late and the priests weren't ready. You could imagine God not liking this because it wasn't "to process" but actually Hezekiah understood that the act of the Passover was more important than when it took place, certainly in this one-off situation. In the church, we also have processes, either formal or informal and sometimes as leaders, we have to make a decision uni-laterally which is not necessarily malicious but simply to ensure the Spirit wins over the procedures!
