1 Kings 9:3
” I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes an my heart wil always be there.”
I can not imagine the Lord putting HIS NAME ….on something I did. We desire to PUT HIS NAME on things we do….but for HIM to put it on. If you would read down in this chapter it says… ( as long as Solomon would worship one GOD…would obey His Word…have a life and heart of integrity and uprightness.
The exchange is so GREAT….God’s name, His heart, His eyes on and in what we are doing. I think of Matisi, I think of His Name on this and what that would mean. He would hear the peoples cry….His eyes would be upon those people and their children….His heart would always be there.
It makes me want to have the church built…and on it ~ JESUS
It makes me want to have the medical clinic built and on it ~ JESUS
It makes me want to have the school/orphanage built and on it ~ JESUS
To have HIS eyes on them continually….to have HIS HEART there continually.
Do we not want that for our own home ?
” if you walk before me in integrity of heart and uprightness, as David….
do all I command and observe my decrees”
That is HIS WORD to us today….if we truly want and desire the LORD JESUS CHRIST to be with us, to keep HIS eyes, HIS heart in where we are at, what we do….. do we want to “put His name on it” to sound – spiritual….
or are we living a life that HE WOULD DESIRE ….
HE WOULD DESIRE……
to put HIS NAME on what we are building ?
