Solomon ..

Leaders come and go, Regimes do not last- but a legacy is left behind: Solomon.

However I think that what made him prosper was hat he lived for God!

I was at the Former Nazi Congress hall. the other day, and it is amazing what Hitler had in plan. The structure was huge......,but when it came to his regime, I think that it was about him, and what he could do. Maybe that is why
he ended up fighting the Jews. And that never lasted!
Today the Germans want nothing to do with him. They call him Austrian. He drove himself away. And that is what happens when you are a leader and you fail to live for the right purpose, even your own people dis-own. But not so with Solomon: He lived right and God was frank with him. If the people he led dis-obeyed him, year s later, people would pass by that temple and wonder what had happened! They would look at it , with all the glamour in which it stood,  and they would mock it and be appalled by its appearance!


There is lots of detail: Lots of specifications. This is one of those things that helps me believe in being really good at what I do...because that is what God did. The instructions sent were to the point: God knew what kind of a house he wanted for himself......how big the rooms would be:90 feet long, 30 feet wide....Wow: Detail...


And finally food for thought: Why are there no clouds hanging over temples, churches today?
Why are there  no priests, walking with a glow on their faces and a calmness that comes from spending time with God?
Is there evidence, both physically and spiritually that you spend time with God?
