Sorry!! Making up for yesterday's...
King Solomon is remembered for his wisdom and for his construction of the temple. What I often forget is that King Solomon built the temple during a period of relative peace and prosperity for Israel. How he chose to spend his leisure time is a reflection of his heart. I see in King Solomon a heart of gratitude towards God for this time of abundance. King Solomon is experiencing God’s grace and in turn chooses to honor and recognize His grace by serving God through the building of the temple. King Solomon might have built a physical temple, but I also think how King Solomon spent his resources (time, energy, wealth) is just as beautiful of an act of worship to the Lord.

As this school year comes to a close, a time of rest lies
ahead of me. I know that this upcoming period of rest is a privilege, of which I
cannot but to give God all of the glory. I’m not sure how that will look. But just
as King Solomon was intentional with his resources and time in constructing the
temple, I am challenged to be impactful in how I spend my time.
So whether we are at
home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 2 Corinthians 5:9.I pray that we are all able to please God with what we offer
to him, through our work, our rest, and our interactions with one another.
