What God commands, God provides. God provided Solomon’s kingdom with the material and spiritual resources to fulfill God’s promise to David to make Israel his dwelling place. The temple and its ministries became an instrument for his glory to dwell with his people and from Israel carry out his redeeming purposes to bless the nations. When we are faithful stewards of God’s resources God honors our faithfulness by using what we have and transforming our meager efforts into an opportunity for his kingdom to come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
