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

Gates. I love a good gate.
Carefully carved and crafted.
Designed for beauty and strength.
Providing entry or denying access.

Seek His face.
During a three-year famine, David inquires of the Lord. Literally—David seeks the face of the Lord.
In the midst of difficulty and dryness. When things seem not as they should be. I wrestle with the whys.
Then remember.
“Seek the Lord and His strength;
seek His face always” (1 Chronicles 16:11).
