Solomon and helping your neighbor






2 Chronicles 4-6

So in today's reading of, 2 Chronicles 4-6, we see God fulfill His promise to David, and we see that our heart matters to God.

Even though David couldn't build the temple because of David's heart, God allowed David's son to do what was in his father's heart to do.

Our heart matters.  Be sure to examine yours throughout the day everyday.

The other moving thing I saw in 2 Chronicles is the pleasure God gets when we, His children, worship Him with true hearts.  I loved reading about the cloud coming into the worship service and God being in the midst of it.

Do you worship in such a true manner that you know God is pleased and among your worship to Him?

Luke 10

Who is your neighborHow helpful and neighborly are you to those who are different from you?  It's easy to come to the aide of someone of the same faith, race, status, and what have you, but how eager are you to help someone who is totally different?

Ask yourself that question and examine your heart.

Remember we can fool others and sometimes we can even fool ourselves, but you cannot fool the true and living God.  He knows what's in your heart and He examines it.
