Welcome the Stranger

Honoring God

Dedicating the Temple of God

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

Solomon's Speech

2 Chronicles 6:32-33 New International Version
32 “As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, 33 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
 

For Reflection

Do not fear the stranger who seeks a sanctuary in the temple proclaims Solomon. He instructs his people to do that the foreigner asks so that all will know the Grace of God.

Pray

Pray and contemplate your interaction with strangers who seek comfort and hope in your midst.
