2 Ch 6:1-11

1 Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

2 "I have built You a lofty house, And a place for Your dwelling forever."

 

 

3 Then the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

4 He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David and has fulfilled it with His hands, saying,

5'Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;

6 but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'

 

7 " Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

8 "But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

9'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.'

10 "Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD  promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

11 "There I have set the ark in which is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with the sons of Israel."

Central Teaching

Though we generally give Solomon credit for building the temple, it is the Lord who should receive the credit because He fulfilled His Word  to David in using his son Solomon to build the temple.

Application

I tend to focus too much on man’s role in accomplishing a task rather than God’s. Devote an hour to prayer tomorrow morning to pray about several important issues.
