—2 Chronicles 4:19-5:1
by: Trisha Gerstel.
King Solomon’s actions in this passage make it clear that not only building the Lord’s Temple, but also furnishing it was very important to him. He sacrificed his time, efforts, and wealth to ensure that the Temple would be worthy of God’s presence, and that it would be fully equipped with items reflecting His glory. Solomon’s actions were one way in which he showed honor to the Lord. His actions also challenge us to think of ways we can help build and furnish the church (both figuratively and literally) in God’s honor.
