2 Chronicles 6-10: Verse of the Day

"Listen to the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place; hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; hear and forgive" (2 Chron 6:21).

After the temple was finished, Solomon prayed that God would hear their supplications at that place. In the following verses, each of the examples of supplications to God was because man sinned against Him. The modern world considers that we have something important to contribute to God. We go to Him so that He'll do something for us. The temple was not a place to have one's divine commands met, but to seek forgiveness from the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Let us in this day recognize God's great power and His grace to hear our pleas for forgiveness.
