OMBS7/ Miracle / Recall God's Mercies

PRAYER - "Solomon's Testimony"

Solomon stood before God, the temple, and a standing multitude. "The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. ...I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised." We should likewise recall God's promises, and celebrate their fulfillments in our lives.

1 Kings 8:20,21 - "...I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD."

PRINCIPALS - "The Holy Vessels"

King Hiram of Tyre generously supplied materials for the temple and king's palace. But another Hiram, a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, was a brilliant artificer in metals. He created brass, bronze and golden items for the temple. Out of bright brass, he crafted lavers, shovels, basons, and other vessels - never weighed for measure because there were so many. The holy furnishings: altar of incense, shewbread table, candlesticks, bowls, snuffers, basons, spoons, censers, even door hinges - were all gold.

1 Kings 7:45 - "All these vessels, ...Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD."

PRINCIPLES - "The Cloud of the Glory of the LORD"

Solomon instructed the priests and Levites to fetch the Ark and all the holy vessels from the tabernacle and carry them into the gorgeous new temple. The people sacrificed countless multitudes of sheep and oxen. The priests placed the Ark between the Cherubims.  

1 Kings 8:10,11 - "And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD."

PROPHECIES - "Solomon's Palace"

Hiram built Solomon's palace of the finest stonework and woodwork. The main House of the Forest was cedar-lined, three stories, twelve doors, 150' x 75'. The Porch of Judgment contained the throne room. The King and Queen (Pharaoh's daughter) had separate houses that looked identical to the Porch of Judgment. An outer Porch of Pillars was 75' x 45'. Nathan's prophecy to David said, "I will set up thy seed after thee, ...and I will establish his kingdom."

1 Kings 7:1 - "Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."

Recall God's Mercies  This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. – Lamentations 3:21-23 God is faithful. He's full of compassion. His mercies are new every morning. As a believer, you know all that. But simply knowing it is not enough. For it to do you any good, you have to recall it. You have to remember it again and again in order to rekindle your hope and stir your faith. So, make it a point to remind yourself of God's faithfulness every morning. Remind yourself of the benefits that are yours in Jesus. What are those benefits? Psalm 103 spells them out: 1. He forgives all your sins. 2. He heals all your diseases. 3. He redeems your life from destruction. 4. He crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. 5. He satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6. He executes righteousness and judgment for you against oppression. 7. He sets you free. 8. He makes known His ways to you. 9. He gives you His grace and mercy in times of need. Make it a point every morning to say those things out loud to the Lord. Stand before Him in prayer and recall His mercies to you. Keep it up and you'll be stronger in faith and more confident of God's love than you've ever been before. Don't just settle for knowing God's blessings. Remember them every day and watch them come alive in you.
