Prayer of Gratitude

Tuesday, September 1, 2015
2 Chronicles 6:1-5 NIV

1 Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 2 I have built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever." 3 While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them. 4 Then he said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. For he said, 5 'Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel.

OBSERVATION QUESTIONS

2) What did the king do for, and say to, the people of God assembled at the temple dedication? (v.3-4)
3) What words of the Lord did the king quote to the people? (v.5)

APPLICATION QUESTIONS
