Golden Shirts and Silver Britches

II Chronicles 1-4

Another wonderful passage overlaid with gold and silver and bound with purple and violet.  This is a retelling of Solomon’s building of The Temple and the richness of it cannot be overstated.  But you may miss the richest part if you don’t pay close attention.  Lets walk through it.

“And the house which I (Solomon) am about to build will be great, for greater is our God than all the gods.  But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him?”  2:5-6

“Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”  I Corinthians 3:16

“so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.” 5:14

Only we can contain God.  Will people see us today clothed in golden shirts and silver britches sewn up with purple and violet thread and filled with “the glory of the Lord?”
