Within & Without
Bible Reading Today: 1 Kings 5-6, 2 Chronicles 2-3
1 Kings 6:30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
The beautiful house which Solomon built for The Lord had gold within & without. Everything of value was poured into this house...and not just the gold & materials...it was the time, talent & effort of the servants USING the gold, jewels & materials to bring this blueprint to reality! That's why the use of gold within & without the house stood out to me...God doesn't just care about decor-the "golden appearance" without. God is truly pleased with a heart of gold shining from within, that special something that gives the outward man that glow that radiates far brighter than any decor can highlight! In order to get the result of a beautiful house for The Lord, the servants put gold within and without. In order for us to be a beautiful place for The Lord to dwell, we must be golden-true, pure & holy-within & without! That holy shine will attract others to Jesus too! That pure gold of God serves so much purpose!

Surviving the Peace Plummet
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
