Today’s reading was part of the description of the building
of the temple. It was an amazing
undertaking. The number of people involved,
the care which was taken to do it God’s way, the precious stones and wood used,
- all of these details are fascinating.
The verse that stood out for me was I King 6:7.
“When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the
quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the
house while it was being built.”
It is so interesting the care they took to build the temple
in a way that pleased the Lord., even if it meant significant additional work
and engineering. And yet how many times
God would require other small steps of faith or obedience and they would take
the easy or comfortable route.
As I examine my own life, I am the same way. I pick and choose when I will give complete
obedience to God. Many time choosing
just when it is easy or convenient.
Lord, may I walk in the Spirit each day, living a life of
obedience and faith. May my joy derive
from glorifying and delighting You.
