Gods Second Appearance To Solomon
I Kings 9:1-2 NKJV
[1] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do, [2] that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
The word of God consists of history of what has happened, commands, prophecies of what will happen, warnings, guidelines of how to live and the promises of God. The Lord's appearance today was to give Solomon warnings. They follow the verses hereunder. Warning is described in the dictionary as, " ... something said or written to tell people of a possible danger, problem, or other unpleasant thing that might happen". Greg Morse, a witer in desiringGod has this to say on God's warnings. " God, from the beginning, has graciously warned his people of the hidden and inevitable consequences of their rebellion. Beginning in the garden, he spoke to the sinless man, “in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17). When he commands and warns us in the New Testament, do we listen?". Warnings are not only in the Old Testament estament, they are also in the New. In daily life, " Warning and danger signs are critical tools in both preventing injury and increasing awareness". God must have seen ahead to appear a second time to warn Solomon . How do you handle warnings? How do you react to it? There are things you must be careful about under God. Receive it with joy because it will protect you. Good morning.
