1 Kings 5:1-6:38, Acts 7:1-29, Psalm 127:1-5, Proverbs 16:28-30
Pray: Father, thank You for the wisdom from Your Word that often challenges us each day to think and live differently. May I not ignore Your insight out of my own convenience.
Read: God gave David the design for the temple and David and the people provided most of the materials, a Gentile king provided the timber, there was a Canaanite work force and Jewish. It was a team effort overseen by Solomon. God is building His temple today and still today it is a team effort to further Jesus’ kingdom and it takes all kinds of different people with different gifts.
Edify: We can draw great encouragement from the psalmist today, he says “ Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!" We must remember that children are a wonderful blessing and gift to us from God.
Practice: Wealth beyond measure was used to build the temple but the more important task was obedience to the Lord. God is not impressed with our buildings because He provided everything we put into them to make them. He wants our loving obedience and then He can make the building a blessing.
