 We sing a beautiful old song,
“Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary Pure and holy, tried and true With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living Sanctuary for You” I love this song and have many wonderful memories of singing it in church, but the phrasing of this song puts all the work of preparation on God. There are many in scripture where we see the importance of a person's preparation. It took 7 years to build Solomon’s temple. Even before that David had been setting up supplies. I am sure once the last piece was in place, Solomon didn’t say, “Ok let’s bring in the Ark of the Covenant.” 2 Chronicles 5-7 tells of the dedication celebration Solomon had. It says all the men of Israel assembled.
