“我所要建造的殿宇甚大；因为我们的上帝至大，超乎诸神。”
历代志下 2:5
“The house which I am about to build will be great, for greater is our God than all the gods.”
2 Chronicles 2:5
King Solomon wanted to give to God a much greater gift than a “big birthday” would merit. He wished for the temple he built to be worthy of God’s presence in it. To secure raw materials, he messaged the king of Tyre. In his letter, he acknowledged that God’s vastness and goodness far exceeded what could ever be built with human hands, yet set about the task anyway out of love and worship.
Our God is indeed greater than all other gods. He has done wondrous things in our lives, prompting our hearts to bring Him a loving and precious offering, regardless of its external value. Solomon knew his gift wouldn’t match God’s worth, yet joyfully set his offering before Him; we can too.
Lord,
You are indeed a great God, matchless in worth.
May my offerings be pleasing in Your sight.
