Day 99: PROSPERITY, Wisdom, and The Temple in 1 Kings 4-6 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 99 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 1 Kings 4-6. Solomon’s reign flourishes with wisdom, wealth, and order, reflecting God’s blessing. The detailed construction of the temple begins, a sacred space to house God’s presence, fulfilling promises and marking Israel’s spiritual zenith under Solomon.

Questions:
1. Solomon’s unparalleled wisdom and prosperity in chapter 4 are gifts from God—how does this abundance challenge us to consider the theological relationship between divine favor and human stewardship in reflecting God’s glory?

2. The temple’s construction in chapters 5-6 is a monumental act of worship—how might its intricate design deepen our understanding of God’s holiness and the call to approach Him with reverence, anticipating Christ as the true temple?

3. Solomon’s alliance with Hiram in chapter 5 blends human cooperation with divine purpose—how does this collaboration invite us to reflect on the theological interplay between God’s sovereignty and the role of human agency in His redemptive plan?
