The Lord said to him: "I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there."
1 Kings 9:3 NIV
Solomon did work, or at least directed, and lead the work done to construct the temple. Man's work built a building, in this case a very special building, the building for the Name of the Lord.
God works in hallowing, consecrating, making special the work. In this case God's eyes and heart will always be there.
One might draw a parallel to what God the Father did for the temple in always being there and what God the Son, did for us in making us acceptable to God the Father and by sealing us with the Holy Spirit.
God's eyes and heart are always with us through our faith in Jesus' work on the cross and the sealing of the Holy Spirit to guide, lead, encourage and support us in our work.
Many teams were involved in making the temple "the temple." God's plan was carried out.
How do you appreciate being a team member with Christ?
Do you have any other temples in your life?
Pray for the Spirit to show you the truth.
In Christ,
David P
