Summary

In today’s podcast, Emma Dotter walks through the continuing steps in the temple construction, and how this excerpt applies to our lives today. It has always been God’s desire to be with his people, but his presence comes with a condition: be obedient. While obedience is a necessity, and other essential aspect of the Christian life is silence. Silence before the Lord, and silence to hear Him speak.

John 1:29, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”

Hebrews 9:12, “But by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”

1 Corin. 3:16, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

2 Peter 1:3, “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

2 Samuel 7:13, “He shall build a house for my name and I will establish that throne of his kingdom forever.”

1 Kings 1-2, Solomon rises to power.

1 Kings 3, Solomon’s power approved.

1 Kings 5:1-7, Solomon makes decisions.

1 King 5:12, Solomon’s decisions are approved.

0:00.0	Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge,
0:03.5	but we're all on this journey together.
0:05.6	We're praying that this podcast inspires you,
0:08.5	helps you better understand God's Word,
0:10.6	and builds your faith.
0:12.1	This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:15.9	Thanks for joining.
0:18.2	Today, we're reading First King Six,
0:20.5	in which our reading drops us 480 years after the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.
0:26.1	That's how the chapter begins. In the 400th and 80th year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt,
0:32.5	in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build
0:38.0	the house of the Lord. In an instant, in less than 20 words, were reminded of God's work of redemption,
0:44.3	freeing the Israelites from slavery through the plagues and the Passover, as well as his work of
0:49.2	revelation, giving the Israelites the law via Moses at Mount Sinai, his presence guiding them as they headed
0:55.1	toward the promised land. But now, here in First King Six, God's permanent home amidst his people
1:01.5	was about to be built. No more traveling and no more tabernacle tent. In today's Devo,
1:07.9	Susan reminds us that it has always been God's desire to dwell with his people.
1:12.1	We see this throughout Scripture, and we see it here in 1st King 6, 11 through 13. However,
1:18.0	if we read this verse carefully, we discover that God's presence comes with a condition.
1:23.7	Obedience. God essentially says, obey and I will be with you. It had been 480 years since God led
1:30.2	the Israelites out of Egypt. Israel is now established as a kingdom and Solomon builds a temple for the
1:35.6	Lord, a place to worship him. It is a magnificent sight to behold for all of Israel and the surrounding
