And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
2 Chronicles 2:1
Solomon was determined to build a house for God. It was his purpose, handed down from his father, David.
Solomon’s temple was seen as incredibly beautiful. No expense was spared. It was assembled with incredible care and was the standard for each temple that followed after it.
Solomon, at heart, was a builder. He built palaces, cities, and walked Israel into their golden age.
We too should be determined to build. Build our families, churches and communities. Determined to usher in God’s blessings upon them.
