2 Chronicles 7: 3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lordabove the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying,

“He is good; his love endures forever."

Solomon has just completed the temple. This is the first worship there. The musicians will use instruments that David had made to turn this into a praise song. The party lasted 7 days.

We are headed to a party, a baby shower for family. It's going to be a picnic too, but it won't last 7 hours. Well, maybe it will for some, but it won't for us. We will celebrate new life. It will be small compared to Solomon's fete.

Prayer:  I pray for my family, both traditional and church. There's so much need and so many blessings in both. I pray to find the joy in worship that Solomon had. Bless my time spent in praise and thanks.
Amen
