Scripture
Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
1 Kings 3:3
Wait
God is merciful.
Observe
God saw Solomon’s heart, so although he worshiped at the high places, God still honoured what Solomon understood of following Yahweh and blessed him for asking for wisdom instead of wealth and power, and gave him wisdom, and wealth and power.
We all have an incomplete understanding of God and His principles, so we may have all sorts of side issues we’re wrong about. Sometimes we argue with other Christians about these differences -- pre-trib, post-trib, post-millennial, amillennial, baptising babies vs adults, the bread and wine being purely symbolic or being sacraments, etc.
But in the end, God knows our hearts and will honour faith where He sees it.
Request
Father, thank You for Your great mercy, and that You overlook our faults. Thank You that You saved us. May I become more and more like Your Son. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Dedicate
I commit to following God as best as I know how, and to be open to His correction.
