[S] 1 Kings 6:11-13 --
11 Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,12 " Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father.13 I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
[O] Creating the right environment to induce drawing closer to God is very important because without that we may be distracted to hear and follow Him. However, unless my heart's desire to abide by God's ways 24x7 in all that I do in all places foremost, the right environment alone is not enough to dwell in God's presence and can easily create an empty environment simply covered by a shell or a facade.
[A] When I go to church to worship on Sundays, don't just settle for the act of going and participating in the program but first practice God's ways during the rest of the week (Monday through Saturday) starting with a daily devotion in God's word.
[P] Dear Father, please allow my heart to be soaked up with Your ways as I meditate on Your word every day. I want to draw closer to You Monday through Saturday and not just on Sundays and lead my family to dwell in Your presence every moment. In Jesus' name. Amen.
