19So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence, 20the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed;21the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold; 22the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and fire pans, of pure gold, and the sockets of the temple, for the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and for the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.–2 Chronicles 4

1. Solomon pursued excellence in these labors for God.
2. Each of these pieces required skilled craftsmen, materials, planning, and oversight.
3. These weren’t rushed or overlooked.
4. Solomon gave his best and not the rest.
5. Does this describe how you pursue God and the things that matter to Him?
6. What about your prayer life? When you gather to worship, is it more about God or more about yourself?
7. Do you pursue excellence in your life regarding your labors for God?–JMB
