1 Kings 6:11-13 (New Living Translation)
11 Then the Lord gave this message to Solomon: 12 “Concerning this Temple you are building, if you keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David. 13 I will live among the Israelites and will never abandon my people Israel.”
God is addressing King Solomon about his current building project: erecting the Temple. What does God tell Solomon about a successful building project?
- Straight corners?
- Good foundation?
- Good drainage?
- Best artwork?
Nope.
God’s criteria for Solomon seem to be off topic:
keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands
Hmmm, maybe God does think about things differently from us. Maybe I should think about things differently, more like God.
