Today's Passage: 1 Kings 8
Sometimes in life you are reminded of how great it is to love God and be loved by Him. Reading through Solomon's prayer in 1 Kings 8, I am reminded of the greatness of God. Despite the consistency we may hear about the greatness, this truth is sometimes lost in our daily grind.
Think about it, from the moment you get out of the bed until the moment you return, how often do you think about the greatness of God? If you are like me at all, then many days will end up being focused on yourself rather than the greatness of God. To put Solomon's prayer in context, the temple was recently built and soon to be dedicated. This could possibly be seen as one of the greatest human feats of that day. However, before Solomon dedicates the temple, he leads the people of Israel in a prayer of thanksgiving.
This Scripture was a great reminder of the great God that saves humanity and who leads us into obedience. I hope you are reminded of God's greatness. Take some time today just to focus on what God has done in the past and what He is currently doing. Solomon gives us a great example of how we should view God and His greatness.
