2 Chronicles 8 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read 2 Chronicles 8.

Meditate on verse 16.

 

Thus, all the work of Solomon was carried out

from the day of the foundation of the house

 of the LORD, and until it was finished.

So, the house of the LORD was completed.

 

As you meditate on 2 Chronicles 8:16, think about these verses:

 

According to the grace of God which was given to

 me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation,

and another is building on it.  But each man must be

careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation

other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 

Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold,

 silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work

will become evident; for the day will show it because it is

to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test

 the quality of each man's work.  If any man's work which

 he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.  If any

 man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he

himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.  Do you

 not know that you are a temple of God and

that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

—1 Corinthians 3:10-16

 

With God’s Spirit inside of you and Jesus Christ as the firm foundation, the LORD is building you and fellow believers into His holy temple.  You are a participant in this building process as you walk in the good works God has prepared for you (Ephesians 2:10).  Solomon’s temple is a beautiful picture of what God is doing in your life and the lives of those you love.  Pray for God to complete the work, using the words from 2 Chronicles 8:16 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, let all Your work be carried out in _________ and

me to be Your house,  from the day You lay the

foundation until all Your work is finished.

Complete us in Your name, Jesus~”
