The stone series
________________________________________________________________________
When King Solomon was building the temple of God, he was particular on the stones he used. They had to be perfect. We see stones selected in a chaotic place-the quarry. Life like a quarry entails ups and downs.With processes to shape us to be the perfect stone-the better version of us.
In this series; the stone, the focus is on the relevance of stones or rock in the bible.Stones refers to;
- THE PROCESS; from chaos to perfection
- CHOICES AND ORGANIZATION; Concentrating on the layering of stones .
- THE RESULTS; the magnificent temple translated into a legacy and blessings from God.
The process; from chaos to perfection
Life is like a quarry. To survive, you need the right skill—to process the perfect rocks. This involves cutting, re-shaping and fitting. 1st kings 5:13-18 accounts for what it took to get the supplies.
lessons from the quarry
Life is like a quarry. To survive, you need the right skill—the skill to process the perfect rocks
- To get through the quarry we need great insight and breadth of understanding in great measure.
- We need support systems that add value ,as well as honor our deals .
- The right stones translate to a firm foundation.
- The process is usually difficult, rough, chaotic, risky, noisy, and dusty.
- Selecting the right tools matters,the temple was symbolic of the body of Christ.
Choices and Organization; Concentrating on the layering of stones .
King Solomon made the right arrangement;
- Supplies arrangements of the cedar and juniper logs from Lebanon
- He honoured his deal by supplying food to the king of Lebanon in exchange for labour.
- He had the right employment structure for stone cutters. They were to cut high quality dressed stone for the foundation.
- Precision is essential; the exact architect in the right setting, a quiet place
THE RESULTS -the magnificent temple translated into a legacy and blessings from God
The outcome was the most coveted temple of Jerusalem. the outcome is you!, after all the background work. you gain your title magnificent, the house of God.Ideally the temple was symbolic , it signified the work we put in to get the desired results.No part of the process was insignificant from the noisy quarry to the quiet and accurate demanding phase and finally to the magnificence.
