It’s too bad they didn’t have cameras in the time of King Solomon because it would be so rewarding to see the temple in all it’s glory. The gold, silver, carvings, ornate designs … all blended to create an earthly building that would attempt to portray the beauty and splendor of a God for Whom it was constructed.

A building certainly makes a statement, but the true building God is really concerned with is the hearts of His people. In essence, church and ministry buildings are merely sheep sheds.

PRAYER: Lord, help us to keep our focus on the things of great and enduring value, the work in the heart and the evangelization of the world.
