“But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.”
Reflection for Today
The Church sets before us 1 Kings 3:2: “But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day.”
A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings. 1 Kings is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church.
As you hold this verse, do not force a dramatic feeling. Ask only for faithfulness. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Holy Trinity, I receive today's verse with the Church. Keep 1 Kings 3:2 close to me. Let “But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to…” guard my thoughts from morning until night, and let my life quietly agree with Your word. Amen.
