The palace
1 Kings Chapter 7
The palace, containing the Hall of Justice, Solomon’s residence and the residence of one of his wives, the daughter of Pharaoh, was a larger complex than the Temple, but not quite as elaborately decorated.
Today’s reading also details some of the furnishings of the Temple, pictured along with yesterday’s readings.
Friday meditation
Proverbs 22:28-29
Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.
Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.
Prayer focus
Whatever work we do, God, may we do it as though it is an offering to you.
-Rev. Mark Fleming
