The readings for this week were incredibly interesting. I specifically enjoyed reading about Solomon. We witness King Solomon finally embarking on building the first temple. The location for the temple is rather interesting because it was where God appeared to David, but also where God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. It’s not a coincidence that God would want His dwelling to be there.

Sometimes we can think that our spiritual gifts and talents are insignificant. Maybe we compare ourselves to others or wish that we were good at something else. But whether we’re talking about our occupations, our passions, or the roles we fill in the church, we all have been created by God with a unique calling on our life to fulfill roles that fit with our gifts and talents.

I love the Old Testament because there are so many things about these stories that foretell about something greater to come. It was like God was giving clues and hints about what His ultimate plan was. I’m sure it was really hard to see and interpret for those in that time, but we get to look back and connect the dots. The readings this week were super cool to dive into.
