“Shlomo made so many of these objects that the total wight of the bronze could not be determined.”
2 Chronicles 4:18 CJB

What we see here is the great concern for worshipping God and the care that Solomon put into it! How much effort do we put into worshipping God?

“Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah; on His Torah they meditate day and night.”
Psalm 1:2 CJB

We always have a choice in life. We can take one step forward in Adonai or one step backwards in the world! What is our priority?

“For Adonai watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.”
Psalm 1:6 CJB

So let’s make Adonai our priority today!
May your day be richly blessed!

“Then Shlomo began to build the house of Adonai in Yerushalayim on Mount Moriyah, where Adonai had appeared to David his father. Provision had been made for this at the place David had chosen, the threshing-floor of Ornan the Y’vusi (Jebusite).”
2 Chronicles 3:1 CJB

I find it interesting that the Temple is built on Mount Moriyah the same mountain that Abraham took Isaac to (Genesis 22:2) to offer him up as a sacrifice, but then stopped by God! It’s also the same mount that Yeshua sacrificed Himself on for us! The word Moriyah means nothing in English, but it is two words in Hebrew! Mori-Yah, Moray= teacher or guide and Yah means God, so we see here God is my teacher and or guide!

“Teach me to do Your will, because you are my God. Let Your Good Spirit guide me on ground that is level.”
Psalm 143:10 CJB

We need to look at every situation in life, good or bad, as a way that God is guiding or trying to teach us His perfect ways!

“The way of the righteous is level; Righteous One, You smooth the path for the righteous.”
Isaiah 26:7 CJB

So understand if you are hitting obstacles or just rough times, it may be God trying to teach you or guide you into His perfect path!
Have a blessed day accepting the trials you may be in!

“Huram continued, Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given David the king a wise, knowledgeable son with common sense to build a house for Adonai and a royal palace for himself.”
2 Chronicles 2:11 CJB verse 12 in other translations.

God will always bless when we are a blessing to others! We need to be givers, hearers and doers of the Word of God!

“Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 CJB

In other words, when we give it’s to glorify and elevate our God! It also keeps us from being selfish! Adonai wants us to be cheerful and generous givers, giving freely of what we have time, money or His knowledge!

“Adonai did great things with us; and we are overjoyed.”
Psalm 126:3 CJB

So let’s be givers today, because it is the wisest thing we can do!
Have a blessed day giving as Yeshua gave to us!

“Shlomo the son of David grew stronger in his rulership; Adonai his God was with him, making him greater and greater.”
2 Chronicles 1:1 CJB

Solomon grew great not because of what He did, He’s great because of God in Him and what God was doing through him!

“For Adonai is a great God, a great king greater than all gods.”
Psalm 95:3 CJB

We serve an amazing and great God, there is none greater or that can even compare. So why would we try to take credit for any of His amazing works, just submit to Him and watch what He will do!

“Our LORD is great, His power is vast, His wisdom beyond telling.”
Psalm 147:5 CJB

So let’s celebrate and share the greatness of Adonai today!
Have a blessed day glorifying God!

“Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!”
Psalm 100:1

The best thing we can do is do exactly that. No matter what is going on in life, shout out joyfully to the LORD!

“Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”
Psalm 100:3

Know that He is God and that we are His! Why? Because He loves us! That should give us enough to make us shout for joy!

“For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.”
Psalm 100:5

Today, let us look to the LORD, not to our situations and rejoice because we are His! He has all things covered in the world, in our lives and in the heavens! Have a blessed day!
