Dear Family:
Yesterday, a friend of mine from Canada shared a blog post on Facebook entitled “Reflecting the Greatness of God”, speaking of Solomon building the Temple in Jerusalem. He referred to 2 Chronicles 2:5, which reads, in his translation of the bible:
“The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods.”
The King James version reads:
“And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.”
My friend’s comments include:
“Solomon’s perspective of God drives what he does, and how he does it, to reflect the magnificence and greatness of his God. He brings together the best skills and resources to make it happen, first for the temple and then for his palace. …
“God deserves my very best. My life should reflect His greatness. Does it?
“Everything I do should be done with excellence. That means I should focus on those things for which I am gifted, working with others in their giftings. And I need to give those things the time it takes to do the work well.”
That is great advice for us all. May all we do reflect the magnificence and greatness of our God. May we strive to live our lives in harmony with Him.
Love,
Dad/Mark
