Daily Bible Reading: 1 Kings 7

After Solomon built the House of the Lord, he then built his own house, which took him thirteen years. Then he built a house in honor of the forest of Lebanon and the workers that got him timber to build his houses. He built a house for the pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to be his wife, also.

Then King Solomon had Hiram, out of Tyre to do all his brass work for him. There was so much brass work done by Hiram that they didn’t even bother to weigh it all, so it is unknown how much went into all the building that Solomon had done, but it is safe to say it was a lot.

The stuff that David had dedicated for the building of the House of the Lord, Solomon put with the treasures in the temple.

===================

Solomon was on a mission. He wanted nice things and he honored all who helped him and all who inspired him. He truly had a grateful spirit.

When you work toward a goal with a grateful spirit, you can do great things, and God will be there with you to help you see it through.
