SOLOMON’S TEMPLE

1 Kings 8:1—9:9

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Thank God today that he is with you every second of the day, and that nothing can change that.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. The Temple was a special place where God’s glory was present. Do you sense God’s presence clearly when you go to church? How? What might “cloud” that sense?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• The worship of Solomon and the people in dedicating the temple was lively and heartfelt. What makes worship come alive for you? Why?
• What change could you make in yourself to improve how you worship God and encourage others? 
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. As you go through the day, stop frequently to remind yourself that God is with you each minute, and to sense his presence with you and enjoy it.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Pray now for a greater, clearer sense of God’s loving presence in your life each day.
