SCRIPTURE UNION DAILY GUIDE DEVOTIONAL 6 OCTOBER 2022
Topic: Temple for God
Opening Prayer: Grant me depth of insight, revelation and knowledge as I meditate on this passage, O Lord.
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:1‐11
Question(s) for Reflection
• Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
• Is there any prayer for me to remember?
Solomon started the dedication of the magnificent Temple by praising the Lord, the God of Israel. Notice what he says about God’s abode in v.1. God’s concern for many years was to build a relationship with His people, Israel. He did this as He accompanied them in the pillar of cloud and fire in the desert (cf. 5:13c‐14). He was satisfied with the Tent of meeting carried from place to place.
God accepts our beautiful places of worship but desires more than these, that we make our hearts the place of His habitation. Our bodies are His Temple. “You (David) are not the one to build the temple”, (v.9). It is not always true that the person who conceives a vision must be the person to carry it out. Someone may initiate a plan, but God may desire another person to execute it. (1 Corinthians 3:5‐8).
It pays to listen to God, submit to Him and execute only His plan for us. Notice the repeated confession of Solomon in vs.4 and 10. How does this encourage us? Read 1 Kings 8:56.
Practice/Word Application
And so: Read and meditate on Psalm 107:43 in NLT. Our God is a Promise‐keeper.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Lord, open my heart to whole‐heartedly worship you. Help me to be a careful listener and submissively follow your every leading in my life.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with
Psalms 18:2 ‐ 3; Zechariah 13, 14; Job 24
