March 23
Introduction
King Solomon celebrates God’s faithfulness to the people of Israel by bringing the Covenant Box to the newly built Temple in Jerusalem. The priests carry it into the Most Holy Place, and God’s glory fills the Temple. You may wish to read 2 Chronicles 2:1—5:1 for a description of the building of the Temple in fulfillment of God’s promise to David (see 2 Samuel 7:12-13).
Today’s Scripture: 2 Chronicles 5:13b
They praised the LORD singing: “Praise the LORD, because he is good, And his love is eternal.”
Today’s Reading
2 Chronicles 5:2-14
Reflect
The Covenant Box was sacred to the people of Israel. What was inside the Covenant Box? What objects in your community of faith do you consider sacred? How was God’s presence made known when the priests were leaving the Temple? You may wish to compare this description with Exodus 40:34-38. In what ways do you experience God’s presence in your life?
Pray
Lord God, I render my heart as a dwelling place for your Spirit and a temple for your steadfast love. Reign in my heart forever. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
