2 Chronicles 1 - 7

I read chapters 1-4 yesterday, but didn’t get my thoughts posted.  I read chapters 5-7 today.  It took about 20 minutes each day to read each passage.

The first 4 chapters detail the efforts and costs under Solomon to build the temple.  This passage is a summary compared to the record in 1 Kings.  Chapter 5 summarizes furnishing the temple.  Chapter 6 is Solomon’s prayer of dedication, and chapter 7 shows God’s response; the initial manifestation of fire, and His vision and answer to Solomon’s prayer in a dream.  It is interesting to note that God’s response to Solomon’s prayer included a warning (7:19-22).  God is always faithful to His nature.
