«For our God is greater than all gods.» 2 Chronicles 2:5
After the death of King David, Solomon, his son, began to reign. David’s great desire was for the temple to be built. And it was up to Solomon to carry out the work.
Solomon was happy but concerned about doing what was best for God. He wanted everything to be perfect, beautiful, majestic, because God deserves the best.
Thousands of workers were called to do all the work. At that time, they didn’t have the machines and trucks that exist today. The temple would have tall and very heavy columns. Imagine how exhausting it was to build it! But Solomon went after the best artists for every detail of the construction. Starting with its foundation to the beautiful curtains with gold embroidery, to the pieces used in rituals.
God deserves the best!
Let’s practice!
How can you offer your best to God?
