Preparations To Build

‎Hi Queen,

‎Welcome to the house of bread and again we have some exciting news for you. Our Heavenly Father never ceases to be on the move. But before we get into the details let's give thanks.

‎Father thank you for today's bread let it spark a fire in our bones and let our minds blossom in all forms of ideas and creativity. We thank you for a new day and your faithful love each day, Amen.

‎Let's break bread:

‎Today's message is simple, for every idea and dream God has placed in your heart don't wait, but begin preparations now.

‎You can start writing the idea and taking note of whatever you need. Allow your creativity to blossom this season.

‎Personally I have started prepping for my next big move. I've begun with small steps. Writing and researching, getting to know what is possible.

‎In the course of this, I want you to have fun and rest. Some things may make you feel tired and you will wonder how you'll be able to do this.

‎Tell God the areas you find difficult and let him help you. This is preparation before we build.

‎2 Chronicles 2:1-16

Preparations for Building the Temple

1 Solomon decided to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord, and also a royal palace for himself.

2 He enlisted a force of 70,000 laborers, 80,000 men to quarry stone in the hill country, and 3,600 foremen.

3 Solomon also sent this message to King Hiram at Tyre: “Send me cedar logs as you did for my father, David, when he was building his palace.

4 I am about to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord my God. It will be a place set apart to burn fragrant incense before him, to display the special sacrificial bread, and to sacrifice burnt offerings each morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, at new moon celebrations, and at the other appointed festivals of the Lord our God. He has commanded Israel to do these things forever.

5 “This must be a magnificent Temple because our God is greater than all other gods.

6 But who can really build him a worthy home? Not even the highest heavens can contain him! So who am I to consider building a Temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices to him?

7 “So send me a master craftsman who can work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron, as well as with purple, scarlet, and blue cloth. He must be a skilled engraver who can work with the craftsmen of Judah and Jerusalem who were selected by my father, David.

8 “Also send me cedar, cypress, and red sandalwood logs from Lebanon, for I know that your men are without equal at cutting timber in Lebanon. I will send my men to help them.

9 An immense amount of timber will be needed, for the Temple I am going to build will be very large and magnificent. 10 In payment for your woodcutters, I will send 100,000 bushels of crushed wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”

11 King Hiram sent this letter of reply to Solomon: “It is because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king!

12 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, gifted with skill and understanding, who will build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.

13 “I am sending you a master craftsman named Huram-abi, who is extremely talented.

14 His mother is from the tribe of Dan in Israel, and his father is from Tyre. He is skillful at making things from gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and he also works with stone and wood. He can work with purple, blue, and scarlet cloth and fine linen. He is also an engraver and can follow any design given to him. He will work with your craftsmen and those appointed by my lord David, your father.

15 “Send along the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine that my lord has mentioned.

16 We will cut whatever timber you need from the Lebanon mountains and will float the logs in rafts down the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to Joppa. From there you can transport the logs up to Jerusalem.”

Amen.

‎Trust the Lord you will have ease.

‎Father we commit this preparation period into your hands, lead us and guide us. We love you, Amen.

‎If you want to have a personal relationship with Jesus say with me:

‎Dear Jesus, come into my heart, I make you my Lord and Saviour, I repent of my sins, I believe you died on the cross to reconcile me back to God, I receive your love and new life, Amen.

‎It will be a wave of miracles.

‎Love Beth and Papa.
