2 Chronicles 6 · Grade 4
Hear from Heaven and Forgive
Read and Think
Solomon blessed the assembly and praised Yahweh, who spoke with his mouth to David and fulfilled it with his hand. God had chosen Jerusalem for his name and David to rule his people. Now the promised son had built the house.
Then Solomon knelt on a bronze platform and spread his hands toward heaven. He confessed that there is no God like Yahweh, who keeps covenant and loving kindness. But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Heaven cannot contain him, much less this house.
Solomon asked God to keep his eyes open toward the house day and night. When people sin, when trouble comes, or when they repent in a far land, may God hear from heaven and forgive. Even foreigners who come for his great name should be heard.
