This week\u2019s passage is 1 Kings 8:54-9:9. The favor God would give the people of Israel was conditional on their obedience to the Law of Moses. God\u2019s response is not all roses and flowers, the expectation of obedience is the same. God already knew the failings that would come. God sees the people\u2019s tendency to abandon the LORD unless they remember and turn their heart\u2019s continually towards the LORD. Israel was to represent God to the rest of the world. God was please with the Temple because of the Heart attitude of the people who built it who wanted to honor God and glorify the name of the LORD. Jesus came to clarify the Law to the people so they would see God\u2019s heart clearly because He is Love. Everything in the Old Testament is pointing to Jesus. God made a way for us, and His presence is always with us.
