A Casket Is Not a Storage Unit


II Chronicles 6-9

Another powerful morning of meeting with the Lord. 

Solomon’s life reads like the greatest fairy tale of all time.  His prayer is a model for every human.  God’s advice to countries offers us the peace that passes all understanding.  Gold, silver, gems, ivory, spices and precious materials stack up like so much filler in an epic poem.  Wisdom and honor flow like time through eternity and wealth, power, luxury, influence and possessions are without equal!  Solomon was Billy Graham, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Dubai, America, the Queen of England, President Obama, Steven Spielberg, Stephen Hawking and more, all rolled into one. 

What’s the moral of the story?  It’s found in the last verse of the reading this morning.  “And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David…” 9:31

The moral;
WHERE WE’RE GOING, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU!!!
