Extravagant. Magnificent. The temple and its building materials.
Enormous stones.
Gold and polished bronze.
The dedication is a ceremony to end all ceremonies.

The dedication is a ceremony to end all ceremonies.

A divided heart leads to ruin. Fragmented loyalties weaken resolve.
Consider Solomon. Wise beyond his years. Or anyone else’s.
The divine instructions are detailed. Laid out so clearly. In two recorded encounters with his Maker. (1 Kings 3 and 9)
But he fools around.
Taking careless, measured steps.
Away from wholehearted devotion.
