Thank You for meeting me, LORD. I welcome you into this place. Please prepare my heart Jehovah. Thank you for insight. 1. King Hiram of Tyre had always been a loyal friend of David. When Hiram learned that David's son Solomon was the new king of Israel, he sent ambassadors to congratulate him. 2. Then Solomon sent this message back to Hiram: 3. "You know that my father, David, was not able to build a Temple to honor the name of the LORD his God because of the many wars waged against him by surrounding nations. He could not build until the LORD gave him victory over all his enemies. 4. But now the LORD my God has given me peace on every side; I have no enemies, and all is well. 5. So I am planning to build a Temple to honor the name of the LORD my God, just as he had instructed my father, David. For the LORD told him, 'Your son, whom I will place on your throne, will build the Temple to honor my name.' 6. "Therefore, please command that cedars from Lebanon be cut for me. Let my men work alongside yours, and I will pay your men whatever wages you ask. As you know, there is no one among us who can cut timber like you Sidonians!" 7. When Hiram received Solomon's message, he was very pleased and said, "Praise the LORD today for giving David a wise son to be king of the great nation of Israel." 8. Then he sent this reply to Solomon: "I have received your message, and I will supply all the cedar and cypress timber you need. 9. My servants will bring the logs from the Lebanon mountains to the Mediterranean Sea and make them into rafts and float them along the coast to whatever place you choose. Then we will break the rafts apart so you can carry thelogs away. You can pay me by supplying me with food for my household." 10. So Hiram supplied as much cedar and cypress timber as Solomon desired. 11. In return, Solomon sent him an annual payment of 100,000 bushels of wheat for his household and 110,000 gallons of pure olive oil. 12. So the LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he had promised. And Hiram and Solomon made a formal alliance of peace. 13. Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel. 14. He sent them to Lebanon in shifts, 10,000 every month, so that each man would be one month in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was in charge of this labor force. 15. Solomon also had 70,000 common laborers, 80,000 quarry workers in the hill country. 16. and 3,600 foremen to supervise the work. 17. At the king's command, they quarried large blocks of high-quality stone and shaped them to make the foundation of the Temple. 18. Men from the city of Gebal helped Solomon's and Hiram's builders prepare the timber and stone for the Temple. 1 Kings 5:1-18 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

1. This message concerning Nineveh came as a vision to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh. 2. The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies! 3. The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. 4. At his command the oceans dry up, and the rivers disappear. The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wither. 5. In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed. 6. Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence. 7. The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. 8. But he will sleep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night. 9. Why are you scheming against the LORD? He will destroy you with one blow; he won't need to strike twice! 10. His enemies, tangled like thorn bushes and staggering like drunks, will be burned up like dry stubble in a field. 11. Who is this wicked counselor of yours who plots evil against the LORD? 12. This is what the LORD says: "Though the Assyrians have many allies, they will be destroyed and disappear. O my people, I have punished you before, but I will not punish you again. 13. Now I will break the yoke of bondage from you neck and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression." 14. And this is what the LORD says concerning the Assyrians in Nineveh: "You will have no more children to carry on your name. I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods. I am preparing a grave for you because you are despicable!" 15. Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate you festivals, O people of Judah, and fulfill all your vows, for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again. They will be completely destroyed! Nahum 1:1-15 NLT 4.

14. This is what the LORD says ⏤ your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sakes I will send an army against Babylon, forcing the Babylonians to flee in those ships they are so proud of. 15. I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's Creator and King. 16. I am the LORD, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. 17. I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses. I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. 18. "But forget all that ⏤ it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. 19. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. 20. The wild animals in the fields will thank me, the jackals and owls, too, for giving them water in the desert. Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed. 21. I have made Israel for myself, and they will someday honor me before the whole world. 22. "But, dear family of Jacob, you refuse to ask for my help. You have grown tired of me, O Israel! 23. You have not brought me sheep or goats for burnt offerings. You have not honored me with sacrifices, though I have not burdened and wearied you with requests for grain offerings and frankincense. 24. You have not brought me fragrant calamus or pleased me with the fat from sacrifices. Instead, you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your faults. 25. "I⏤yes, I alone ⏤ will blot out your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again. 26. Let us review the situation together, and you can present your case to prove your innocence. 27. From the very beginning, your first ancestor sinned against me; all your leaders broke my laws. 28. That is why I have disgraced your priests; I have decreed compete destruction for Jacob and shame for Israel. Isaiah 43:14-28 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

1. But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 2. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 3. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4. Others were given in exchange for you I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you. 5. "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and west. 6. I will say to the north and the south, 'Bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth. 7. Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.'" 8. Bring out the people who have eyes and are blind, who have ears but are deaf. 9. Gather the nations together! Assemble the peoples of the world! Which of their idols has ever foretold such things? Which can predict what will happen tomorrow? Where are the witnesses of such predictions? Who can verify that they spoke the truth? 10. "But you are my witnesses, O Israel!" says the LORD, "You are my servant. You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other God ⏤ there never has been, and there never will be. 11., I yes, I, am the LORD and there is no other Savior. 12.

"From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done." Isaiah 43:1-13 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

12. We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God's grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you. 13. Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing written between the lines and nothing you can't understand. I hope someday you will fully understand us, 14. even if you don't understand us now. Then on the day when the Lord Jesus returns, you will be proud of us in the same way we are proud of you. 15. Since I was so sure of your understanding and trust, I wanted to give you a double blessing by visiting you twice ⏤ 16. first on my way to Macedonia and again when I returned from Macedonia. Then you could send me on my way to Judea. 17. You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say "Yes" when they really mean "No"? 18. As surely as God is faithful, my word to you does not waver between "Yes" and "No." 19. For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between "Yes" and "No." He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God's ultimate "Yes," he always does what he says. 20. For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "Yes!" And through Christ, our "Amen" (which means "Yes") ascends to God for his glory. 21. It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, 22. and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us. 23. Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn't return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke. 24. But that does not mean we want to dominate you by telling you how to put your faith into practice. We want to work together with you so you will be full of joy, for it is by your own faith that you stand firm. 2 Corinthians 1:12-24 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today.

1. This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 6. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. 8. We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raised the dead. 10. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. we have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. 11. And you are helping us by praying for us.

Thank you for insight. 3. 14th strategy. Instructions Given
1. When David was an old man, he appointed his son Solomon to be king over Israel. 2. David summoned all the leaders of Israel, together with the priests and Levites. 3. All the Levites who were thirty years old or older were counted, and the total came to 38,000. 4. Then David said, "From all the Levites, 24,000 will supervise the work at the Temple of the LORD. Another 6,000 will serve as officials and judges. 5. Another 4,000 will work as gatekeepers, and 4,000 will praise the LORD with the musical instruments I have made." 6. Then David divided the Levites into divisions named after the clans descended from the three sons of Levi — Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. The Gershonites 7. The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon. 8. Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel (the family leader), Zetham, and Joel. 9. These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. 10. Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. 11. Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons. The Kohathites 12. Four of the descendants of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 13. The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart to dedicate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices in the LORD'S presence, to serve the LORD, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever. 14. As for Moses, the man of God, is sons were included with the tribe of Levi. 15. The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer. 16. The descendants of Gershom included Shebuel, the family leader. 17. Eliezer had only one son, Rehabiah, the family leader. Rehabiah had numerous descendants. 18. The descendants of Izhar included Shelomith, the family leader. 19. The descendants of Hebron included Jeriah (the family leader), Amariah (the second), Jahaziel (the third), and Jekameam (the fourth). 20. The descendants of Uzziel included Micah (the family leader) and Isshiah (the second). The Merarites 21. The descendants of Merari included Mahli and Mushi. The son of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish. 22. Eleazar died with no sons, only daughters. His daughters married their cousins, the sons of Kish. 23. Three of descendants of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. 24. These were the descendants of Levi by clans, the leaders of their family groups, registered carefully by name. Each had to be twenty years old or older to qualify for service in the house of the LORD. 25. For David said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, has given us peace, and he will always live in Jerusalem. 26. Now the Levites will no longer need or carry the Tabernacle and its furnishings from place to place." 27. In accordance with David's final instructions, all the Levites twenty years old or older were registered for service. 28. The work of the Levites was to assist the priests, the descendants of Aaron, as they served at the house of the LORD. They also took care of the courtyards and side rooms, helped perform the ceremonies of purification, and served in many other ways in the house of God. 29. They were in charge of the sacred bread that was set out on the table, the choice flour for the grain offerings, the wafers made without yeast, the cakes cooked in olive oil, and the other mixed breads. They were also responsible to check all the weights and measures. 30. And each morning and evening they stood before the LORD to sing songs of thanks and praise to him. 31. They assisted with the burnt offerings that were presented to the LORD on Sabbath days, at new moon celebrations, and at all the appointed festivals. The required number of Levites served in the LORD'S presence at all ties, following all the procedures they had been given. 32. And so, under the supervision of the priests, the Levites watched over the Tabernacle and the Temple and faithfully carried out their duties of service at the house of the LORD. 1 Chronicles 23:1-32 NLT 4.
