The temple is built and the Ark is brought to it. The people praised the LORD saying, "He is good; his love continues forever." Solomon did the work, but God did what He promised. Solomon's work was a fulfillment of God's promise.
God does what He says He will do!
Then Solomon prayed. I love the visual picture painted by the scriptures. The great king Solomon stood facing the LORD's altar with the people behind him. He spreads out his hands. Then, this mighty king, in front of everybody kneels down, spreads his hands to the sky, and praises God. God, there is none like you! You keep your promises. You spoke it with your mouth and finished it with your hands today. Now LORD, please keep your promises. You have said that if we continue to carefully obey your teachings, that you will keep your promises.
Addendum: 6/24/14 ~ "You spoke it with your mouth and finished it with your hands today." What a statement. What a promise. Time is of NO importance. What He says He will do—HE does!!
