Introduction

David’s son, Solomon, is now king. Solomon brings the Covenant Box to the Temple. The priests carry it into the Most Holy Place, and God’s glory shines through the Temple. Then Solomon speaks to the people, praising God and explaining his actions.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

1 Kings 8:1-21

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Kings 8:12

Solomon prayed “You, LORD, have placed the sun in the sky, yet you have chosen to live in clouds and darkness.”

Reflect

The Covenant Box was the acacia wood box that accompanied the Israelites on their wilderness wanderings in the time of Moses. It contained the two flat stones that had the Ten Commandments written on them. This box was sacred to God’s people. In your community of faith, are there objects or places that you consider to be sacred? What are they?

Pray

Holy Lord, you inhabit both the heavens and the earth, filling them with your light and love. Make me aware of your presence that I may more easily see and know your steadfast love and care. Amen.
