Thought for today: “Solomon’s Palace” (August 12)

The fact that Solomon took longer to build his palace than the temple does not reflect badly on his priorities. Building his palace took longer because it was part of a massive urban construction project that included barracks and accommodation for his harem. “1 And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.” (1 Kings 7:1-2 ASV)...

Gedachte voor vandaag “Het Paleis van Salomo” (12 augustus)

Het feit dat Salomo meer tijd nodig had om zijn paleis te bouwen dan de tempel, is geen aanmerking op zijn prioriteiten. Het bouwen van zijn paleis vergde meer tijd omdat het deel uitmaakte van een reusachtig stedelijk bouwproject inclusief een kazerne en huisvesting voor zijn harem. “1 Aan zijn paleis heeft Salomo dertien jaar gebouwd voordat het helemaal voltooid was....

Hanʹa and Hanʹa or Hanna

HAN´NAH (hanʹa; “grace, favor”). Wife of Elkanah (a Levite of Ephratah) and mother of Samuel. Although childless, she was much beloved by her husband. But she was greatly distressed by the insults of Elkanah’s other wife, Peninnah, who had children. On one of her visits to Shiloh she vowed before the Lord that if He would give her a son, she would devote him to His service....

Thought for August 11: Two feasts

Mark 6 – Two feasts (An excerpt from Mark – The Gospel of the Son of God by L. G. Sargent, page 96) The contrast so clearly perceived by Matthew and Mark now stands out boldly. In the luxury of his palace Herod had given a feast of death. His crowning dish was a grisly relic of righteousness slain. The real patron of his banquet was the “strange woman” of Proverbs whose “house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death” (Proverbs 7:27), for that was the end of those who went the way of Herod....

The Weakness of the Old Covenant

31 Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I cut out the house of Israel and the house of Judah a new covenant. Jeremiah 31:31 begins with the interjection behold, indicating that God is calling Israel’s attention to something of utmost importance, something that stands out even from the inspired text that surrounds it. He is going to make an announcement of unmitigated importance....

Thought for today: “The Reign of Solomon” (August 10)

When King David sensed that his end was drawing near, he instructed his son Solomon to conduct himself as an honest and God-fearing man and to ensure that he would be a strong and worthy successor. “1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 I am going the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man; 3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself....

Gedachte voor vandaag “De regering van Salomo” (10 augustus)

Toen koning David zijn einde voelde naderen, gaf hij zijn zoon Salomo de opdracht zich als een eerlijke godsvruchtige man te gedragen en ervoor te zorgen een krachttig en waardig opvolger te zijn. “1 Toen Davids einde naderde, bond hij zijn zoon Salomo het volgende op het hart: 2 ‘Ik ga de weg van al het aardse. Wees sterk en toon dat je een man bent....

The Way of Blessing and the Way of the Curse

28:1–14 This chapter offers a detailed description of the ways Israel will either be blessed for obedience, or cursed for disobedience, according to the terms of their covenant with Yahweh. The chapter naturally divides into two parts: the blessings (vv. 1–14) and the curses (vv. 15–68). 28:15–68 The curses for disobedience in this section resemble those of Lev 26…...

Thought for today “That I may discern between good and evil” (August 09)

9 Give, therefore, to thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people? The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments (Improved Edition, 1 Ki 3:9). (1913). American Baptist Publication Society. 9 Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”...

Thought for today “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (August 08)

11 For I knew the purposes which I purposed concerning you, says Jehovah; purposes of peace, and not for evil, to give to you the last part and expectation. 12 And ye called me, and went and prayed to me, and I heard to you. 13 And ye sought me and found, for ye will seek me with all your heart....
