Text for the Day -- I Kings 6:1, 11-14
---------- In the four hundred eightieth year after the Israelites came out ofthe land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel,in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build thehouse of the LORD.
Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon, "Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, obey my ordinances, and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish my promise with you, which I made to your father David. I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
Devotional ----------
Solomon built the first temple in Israel. It was a magnificentbuilding dedicated to the worship of God. God assured Solomon that ifhe would walk in the ways of God, God would bless the people with hispresence and divine protection. The temple became the central symbolof God's presence for the people of Israel.
Prayer --------
May I seek your presence in the gathering of your people often, OLord. Amen
