Read: 2 Chron. 6-7; Ps. 136
Today we have a recap of yesterday’s reading with God’s response to Solomon’s prayer. God said that if he did shut up heaven to punish them for their sins then they could humble themselves and pray and seek his face and turn from sin and God would hear them and forgive their sins and heal their land.
God answered Solomon’s other prayer about his children and their place as heirs to the throne. As long as they followed God, they would have their place on the throne. If they chose to rebel, then God would pluck them up and cast them out and give their land to others. This is exactly what happened until 1948 when Israel became a nation once again and God’s people started coming home.
Psalms 136 must have been Solomon’s song he sang during that celebration. Solomon wanted to remind the people where they came from and all God had done for them because his mercy endures for ever.
We will give thanks to the God of heavens for Your mercy endures for ever.
