Ask God for His understanding of 1 Kings 5-9. Read 1 Kings 5-9. Let’s journey!

Commentary: What the Lord had revealed to David was coming to pass: Solomon was building the temple of the Lord. It was twice the size of the Tabernacle built by the Israelites in the desert. Solomon received wood for the temple from the King of Tyre, due to the respect the king had for Solomon’s father, King David. The temple was not the only building project Solomon had. He also built his own palace, a second home, and a palace for the daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh, his wife. Once the temple was built, the Ark of the Covenant was placed inside the Holy of Holies. After the dedication of the temple, the Lord appeared to Solomon, asking him to serve as his father had, with his heart.

Focus Verses: 1 Kings 9:3-5 – David made mistakes in his service to the Lord. We all do! Yet, in his heart, he was earnest about seeking forgiveness and honoring the Lord. What is the condition of your heart and service? Ask the Lord to work on the condition of your heart.
