“Solomon built a palace for himself, taking thirteen years to finish it.”
1 Kings 7:1 CJB
Interesting thought here: it took Solomon seven years to build a house for God and thirteen years for himself! Do we spend and give ourselves more than we do for God?
“Doing Your will, my God, is my joy; Your Torah is my inmost being.”
Psalm 40:8 CJB
We need to have God at the center of everything we do! In order to do that we need to spend more than seven minutes with Him in His Word and in prayer!
“I treasure Your Word in my heart, so that I won’t sin against You.”
Psalm 119:11 CJB
Some of Solomon’s problems will arise because He spends more time on himself than Adonai! This is a lesson we should all learn that the more time we spend with Adonai, the less time we will fall into foolishness!
Have a blessed day knowing all things are from God and we need to dedicate all to Him!
Shabbat Shalom!
