“Solomon’s living quarters surrounded a courtyard behind this hall, and they were constructed the same way.” I Kings 7:8a NLT
They say a man’s home is his castle. Well, in my house Famous is the king. Right now as he rests on top of my foot, I hope he is thinking how good he has it! How lucky would any of us be to be waited on hand and foot for free! He has a personal groomer, chef, and masseur, all in me. I suppose minus the concubines Famous lives a life equal to that of King Solomon.
Outside of our “palace” I have created a small garden courtyard. We hold court there every morning and evening as we water the flowers and greet the birds, butterflies, and squirrels that may come to watch. Famous will often sit on his throne on the grassy hill where he surveys his kingdom. This is where he seems to be the most satisfied.
God poured his blessings upon Israel through King Solomon for building the Temple in Jerusalem. For generations to follow, this became the place where they would encounter God. But we know God is not confined to a building or a structure. He is with us everyday wherever we go. He sits enthroned in our hearts.
O God, purify my heart. Cleanse me from sin and dwell within me.
