“And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;”
2 Chronicles 4:11 KJV
Huram, king of Tyre, also made ash buckets, shovels, and bowls. And that about wrapped it up: Huram completed the work he had contracted to do for King Solomon. Because of David’s friendship with him, Huram did for Solomon, David’s son, the best that he could. The best of cedars and cypress trees were used, provided for by the Tyrians, made into rafts and sent by sea to where Solomon desired. Such was the favour of God upon the building of the Temple of God, that there was much cooperation and peace. When we work together for the work of God, there is genuine heart peace, not made through treaties or diplomatic negotiations. Because of Jesus instituting the new covenant through His death, burial and resurrection, the Body of Christ, is called to live in peace. This is the heart peace that comes from loving and obeying God our Father. This peace comes from Christ ruling in our hearts. For as members of one Body we are called to live in peace, and to always be thankful. So, while we wait for the day of the Lord, let’s work hard to live in peace, without flaw or blemish. Amen!
