The temple is finished and dedicated.  Note:

• Praise for God’s Love – As the ark was placed in the temple, the Levitical musicians were praising and thanking God for his steadfast love (5:5). The people bowed down and worshipped God “for his steadfast love endures forever” (7:3).  The priests offered sacrifices and the Levites offered praises to God – “for his steadfast love endures forever” (7:6).  How has God shown his love to you?  Take some time now to praise him!
• Heart – God knows your heart. You should walk before him with all of your heart.  When you sin, you are to turn your heart back to God.  Does this describe you?  What does God know about your heart?
• Humble Prayer – When the people strayed, God instructed them to humbly pray to him, seeking his face, and turning from their wicked ways, and God would hear them and forgive them (7:14). How have you strayed?  Will you humble yourself?  Will you seek his face?
