"Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel
Let us not lose sight of God's call to build ourselves to him. With God's grace and forgiveness we can establish a foundation in our faith. On top of this we grow to know God's love and using this as the bricks and mortar to hold our life together and be an example for others. Through our works and dedication we build a life of service to our family and community in gratitude for the kingdom that he offers us.
Building ourselves as his house is important for providing security and a sanctuary for our spiritual life. This is done through regular practice including prayer, meditation, scripture study and worship. By nurturing and being open to his spirit that dwells within us, we receive God's guidance and direction. Build your house for the Lord!
Dear God,
Open my heart to your love and grace so that it will be the foundation for a life close to you. Thank you for the chance to build myself to your glory. Please work through me to construct a world that will allow me to serve and spread your love. May your spirit dwell in me, guide me and allow me to transcend this world to your eternal kingdom. Amen
