Notes From My Quiet Time

My personal quiet time as been filled with rich details about Solomon's kingdom lately. I'm knee deep into 2 Chronicles, and I'm not studying it to teach it but just to be edified by it. There is certainly a difference. My "spiritual lenses" focus much more personally when I'm looking into the Scripture to hear God's Word only for myself.

While the insights I'm gathering may indeed one day make a message from which others can benefit, right now, the Holy Spirit is just digging deeply into me - exploring me, reminding me, convicting me, challenging me and rearranging me.

It's a good thing.

Several days ago, I ran across these two lines and my insides leaped:
2 Chronicles 9:20 - ". . .silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon."
2 Chronicles 9:27 - ". . . And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem."

I was intrigued - the king chose to offer that which was not considered valuable. Seems that the king's value system was a bit different than the people's.
I've jotted some thoughts down in this month's Jewelry Box article. Take a peek and then pop back over here to tell me what the Spirit speaks to your heart.
I'm anxious to hear about it.

Bless you today.
