Can I encourage you guys, if you do not, let me tell you, I started doing something now. I will be honest, I have every intention on being a church mother in about 40 years. Every intention, I can't wait for it. And I will be insufferable, I just want you to know. But I started using my actual Bible instead of bringing my phone to church. And it doesn't make me any better than people who use their phone. But what I did realize is that having my actual Bible allowed me to highlight it, to put the pens in it as God was speaking to me there in the moment. I would use it for my personal devotion.

And in this text, the Lord answers those prayer requests that Solomon prayed as it related to dedicating the temple. And in verse 12, it says, then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. …
