THE LORD CHOOSE SOLOMON TO SUCCEED DAVID . TO BUILD THE TEMPLE. HE APPEARED TO SOLOMON TWICE.
But all the encounters with God didn't stop or immune Solomon from acquiring several women , he couldn't help but want to please them, so he allowed them bring in their gods and serve strange gods from the royal Palace.
1 Chronicles 28:9-10 NLT
[9] “
And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
[10] So take this seriously. The Lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.”
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT AS CHRISTIANS , to continuously pray and surrender our minds and will to God.
Part of verse 9 says ......"Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord"
Asking God for a miñd willing to serve, willing to obey, willing to leave holy and righteous, is a good prayer to pray daily.
A Willing mind was what Hezekiah had, and he patterned his Kingship after David , even though the Kings before him didn't do so well.
Asking God daily TO WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE IN US, ought to be our daily prayer as children of God.
“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought
