Verse 3. - For he is good (so 2 Chronicles 5:13; 1 Chronicles 16:34). 7:1-22 God's answer to Solomon's prayer. - God gave a gracious answer to Solomon's prayer. The mercies of God to sinners are made known in a manner well suited to impress all who receive them, with his majesty and holiness. The people worshipped and praised God. When he manifests himself as a consuming Fire to sinners, his people can rejoice in him as their Light. Nay, they had reason to say, that God was good in this. It is of the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, but the sacrifice in our stead, for which we should be very thankful. And whoever beholds with true faith, the Saviour agonizing and dying for man's sin, will, by that view, find his godly sorrow enlarged, his hatred of sin increased, his soul made more watchful, and his life more holy. Solomon prosperously effected all he designed, for adorning both God's house and his own. Those who begin with the service of God, are likely to go on successfully in their own affairs. It was Solomon's praise, that what he undertook, he went through with; it was by the grace of God that he prospered in it. Let us then stand in awe, and sin not. Let us fear the Lord's displeasure, hope in his mercy, and walk in his commandments.Jump to Previous Bowed Children Endures Faces Fire Glory Good Ground House Israel Kindness Loving Pavement Praised Prostrated Thanks Themselves Worshiped WorshippedJump to Next Bowed Children Endures Faces Fire Glory Good Ground House Israel Kindness Loving Pavement Praised Prostrated Thanks Themselves Worshiped WorshippedLinks 2 Chronicles 7:3 NIV2 Chronicles 7:3 NLT 2 Chronicles 7:3 ESV 2 Chronicles 7:3 NASB 2 Chronicles 7:3 KJV 2 Chronicles 7:3 Bible Apps 2 Chronicles 7:3 Biblia Paralela 2 Chronicles 7:3 Chinese Bible 2 Chronicles 7:3 French Bible 2 Chronicles 7:3 German Bible Alphabetical: above all and bowed come coming down endures everlasting faces fire forever gave glory good ground He his house is Israel Israelites knelt LORD love lovingkindness of on pavement praise saw saying seeing sons temple thanks the their they to Truly upon When with worshiped OT History: 2 Chronicles 7:3 All the children of Israel looked (2 Chron. 2Ch iiCh ii ch 2 chr 2chr) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
