1 Kings 7, 2 Chronicles 4, Psalm 98, Rom 2

"But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all His house."
1 Kings 7:1

Imagine building a house with unlimited resources and building it over 13 years with 153,000 workers. That is a nice house. Solomon not only had a house, he had vacation homes and guest homes. Wouldn’t it be great to have several vacation homes, place at the beach, river, lake, and mountains? A place where all your friend’s and family can hang out. This past Sunday Pastor Rick commented on how God’s been building your mansion for over 2000 year’s. It’s going ot be an amazing place, as we read today about Solomon and all he built let’s be reminded of our home. I am not talking about the home you live in here on earth. I am talking about the place we will spend for all of eternity. Solomon who is considered the greatest builder of all time after building his homes, and experiencing every pleasure under the sun said that it was all meaningless. “Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.” (Eccl 2:11) We spend so much of our time building things that do not last. Today let’s invest and put our energies into building something that will last.

In Him,
Pastor Joe
