Yesterday's Bible Study |
In the eighth chapter of Kings, the Ark of the Covenant has just been brought into the temple. King Solomon is rejoicing and prays with thanksgiving to the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness to them. After kneeling before the altar, he stands and proclaims this verse to the Israelites. He asks the Lord to be with them as He was with their ancestors and that He would never leave or forsake them. King Solomon knew that the success of Israel as a nation depended entirely on the presence of the Lord.
In the same way, our lives depend on the consistent presence of the Lord. We are not able to do anything without His help, and when we begin to make a habit of acknowledging our need for His presence, we will be able to walk in greater communion with Him. Knowing and remembering His nearness will help us to honor at all moments of our lives.
