As we look at Solomon’s prayer dedicating the temple in 1 Kings 8:22-53, on thing that quickly stands out are the many requests that God would hear and forgive the people. No matter what their situation might be, that if they realign themselves to God, that He would be merciful. As the text unfolds we learn some interesting things about what that looks like in the Old Testament and then when we compare that to what the New Testament says about being heard and forgiven, we uncover comes important truths that can help us in the temptations and sin that can so easily pop up in our lives today. We hope you’ll take time to listen and let God show you how to orient yourself to Him and His way.
