The Temple of the Lord



Like the Tabernacle, I am (once again) fascinated by the specific instructions that were given to David and passed on to his son (Solomon) regarding building the Temple of the Lord.  David wanted to build the temple to edify God but God told him that his son would be the one to actually build it. Solomon completed the project but learned that God would not be living in the Temple but rather in heaven.  Nonetheless, the building was a magnificent testament to the blessings that God had provided to David and the chosen people of God.

Resuming My Walk...

I can't believe that it has been over two years since I last posted to this blog!  Of course, my walk strayed from God and I admittedly (and foolishly) took my hand out of His.  In spite of my foolishness, God has continued to bless me.  The enemy came to attack my health but God kept me in His protective hand.  Thank you, God!

Today, I posted a prayer request in an online prayer community.  Here is my prayer:

Please join me in prayer as I search for a new job/career that will help me bless others while I experience promotion and enlargement of my territory. I need wisdom, favor, guidance, and a closer walk with God to realize my dreams.  I am in my fifties and pray for continued health in spite of a few medical condition.  I pray that God bind the works of the enemy so that no weapon formed against me will prosper. I sincerely want to experience and receive all of the blessings that God has for me.  I pray that God continue to supply my every need and rebuke the devourer.

I also pray for my family and friends. May God meet their every need and continue to bless them richly.  I pray for my children.  Though I am a divorced father with no relationship with two of my children, I pray that the hearts of my children be turned towards me.  Also, I pray for a restored relationship between my children and my mother.  She is greatly pained emotionally that they seem to have no desire to have a relationship with their grandmother (for unknown reasons).

Lastly, I pray for this world.  I pray that God continue to exercise patience, mercy, and grace in these last and evil days.  If I have forgotten anything, may the Holy Spirit provide utterances in heaven on my behalf.
I love you, God! Please continue to keep, protect, and prosper me so that I can do YOUR work in the Kingdom of God!
