God Fulfills His Declared Plan
Backgrounder on 1 Kings 5-8:
Before his death, David had
charged his son Solomon with the
responsibility of building a house
for God in Jerusalem. Now at last
it is time to make that dream a
reality. For 7 years Solomon plans &
prepares the Temple. When at last
the ark of the covenant is installed
in the Holy Place, the cloud of
God’s presence fills the house of
the Lord. Once again, God’s glory
dwells in the midst of His people.
Lord, You God Fulfils Your Plan:
It came to pass when the priests
came out of the holy place, that the
cloud filled the house of the Lord…
Praise the Lord who has given
rest to His people Israel, just as he
promised. Not one word has failed
of all the wonderful promises He
gave through his servant Moses.
May the Lord our God be with us
as He was with our ancestors;
may He never forsake us.
May He give us the desire to do
His will in everything and to obey
all the commands…that He gave
our ancestors (1Kings 8:10,56-58)
Lord, we praise You for keeping
covenant and fulfilling yr purposes!
Give me the desire to do your will.
in everything. Thank you for
the promise that in your infinite
faithfulness you will fulfill your
purpose in my life just as you
fulfilled all your promises to Moses.
Not one of them failed and
neither will Your promises to me.
We remember your past deeds in
our life showing your faithfulness.
We trust that You will fulfil Your
promises in your way and time.
And tho sometimes it may seem
late to us, it will still be on time!
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
