Today, Pastor Mike reminds us that God is in control. We might not always understand why things are happening the way they are, but we can rest in the assurance that God is working things for good. We see a glimpse of this as King Solomon sets out to build the temple in Jerusalem. While his father David was constantly fighting Israel’s enemies, God granted peace to Israel under Solomon’s reign. Furthermore, God provided Solomon with access to the materials needed for the construction of the temple.
