Bible reading: 1 kings 4-5, 2 Corinthians 1
reel thoughts:
God doesn't need perfect people to do His work.
God was more interested on what Solomon constructed in his heart, than the temple he was building.
Solomon took such painstaking efforts to build this temple unto God, what does that indicate about how much effort, care, and energy i should be putting into the things I do for God?
the coolest thing about being one of the artisans who worked on the temple, was that one day they could come back and say, "God used me to dream this up, and then build this." that's the power of using your gifts and talents for God to create something.
Nowadays we talk about creating things and only think of commercial interest/gain. But truly, anything created by, for, and with God's help has value in and of itself. You don't have to market your talents/gifts. A man's gift makes room for him (notice how Solomon sent for Hiram, and how David was instructed by God to leverage skilled artisans in His work). God knows how to connect your gifts to His projects.
Remember Paul's advice to the Corinthian church- stand by your faith. But also be willing to expand your faith with greater understanding of God and His will.
