—Revelation 11:15-19
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Before Solomon dedicated the temple of the Lord (1 Kings 8:22-66), he and the elders and heads of the tribes of Israel brought the ark of the Lord into the temple with much ceremony (1 Kings 8:1-13). Today we read that before God’s heavenly temple will open, His ark will be set in its rightful place and the elders will offer praise. When we wish to dedicate our lives to God, we must understand and accept the covenant He has made through His Son, Jesus Christ, and we must be willing to praise Him for His commandments, which guard our hearts and bring Him glory.
