[:en]WHAT’S THE BEST GIFT?
King Solomon wanted to give to God a much greater gift than a a “big birthday” would merit. He wished for that temple he built to be worthy of God’s presence in it. To secure raw materials, he messaged the king of Tyre. In his letter, he remarked that the temple would be great “because our God is greater than all other gods” (2Chron. 2:5) He acknowledged that God’s vastness and goodness far exceeded what could ever be built with human hands, yet set about the task anyway out of love and worship.
Our God has done wondrous things in our lives. Let us joyfully offer our love as the most treasured gift for Him. – by (Kirsten Holmberg)[:]
