Sat.’s Devo - Solomon’s Coronation

Read: 1 Chron. 28:1-29:30, Ro. 5:6-21, Ps. 15:1-5, Pr. 19:18-19 David is turning his kingdom over to Solomon. David had prepared everything Solomon would need to build the temple for God to dwell. David prayed that Solomon would have a perfect heart and keep all God’s commandments. David was a type of Jesus who fights for us in our struggle with Satan. Solomon is a type of the triumphant Jesus that will reign during the Millennium - the time of peace. Solomon’s reign was a time of property and all Israel obeyed him. Solomon was magnified by God with royal majesty in the eyes of all the people. When Jesus comes back to set up his kingdom, he will come with majesty and great glory. All the earth will bow down to him. In Romans, we see that Adam was a type of Jesus. He brought death to earth when he chose to eat the fruit. Death came to every man even before Moses gave us the law. Death entered through the first “Adam” and exited through the second “Adam”. Jesus conquered death when he rose from the grave. The law came to show us we were sinners, so that when Jesus came we would know we needed a savior. We are made righteous through Jesus’ blood - it’s called grace. Our Psalms today reminds us that we can dwell in Solomon’s reign - in God’s tabernacle even though our bodies are reigning in David’s reign. Walking in the spirit is to walk in peace and prosperity. Lord may we dwell in your Holy Place today.
