All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide
All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living Bread
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me
All the way my Savior leads me
O, the fullness of His love
O, the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood
And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way
This is a worship song by Chris Tomlin. In the past, i used to skip this track whenever it plays on my ipod. But recently, for reasons unknown, i decided to listen to it when it randomly played. And it filled me with sorrow because i realised i have not veem following where God was leading. "Who have i to ask beside" was the sentence that really spoke to me. It led me to think why am i not following the creator of my life when He only has good plans for me. It is my prayer that i start to be more sensitive and aware to God's calling and leading, as i prepare for the next phase of life, one that i truly desire for His stewardship.
Lead me God!

1 Kings 8 The Ark is brought into the temple
Solomon gathered all the important people together so that they can bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Zion (along with the tabernacle and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle) with sacrificing sheep and oxen that were too many to count so that the priests could bring them into the Most Holy place. The priests placed the ark under the wings of the cherubim.
Inside the ark was the two tablets of stone which moses wrote in Horeb when the Israelites came out of Egypt.
When the priests came out of the Most Holy Place, the Lord's presence rested as a cloud on the temple that Solomon had built.
Solomon spoke and invited God to dwell in the temple forever.
Solomon's speech at completion of work.
Solomon turned and blessed the assembly of Israel while they were standing. He shared how God had fulfilled His promise to the Israelites. He also shared how David wanted to build a temple for God but because he was a man of war, the task was given to Solomon instead.
Solomon's prayer of dedication
And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of the Israelites and declared that God is the only God who always keep what He promised. He prayed that God will listen to the cry of the people whn they pray towards this temple; and that He will forgive them. He even prayed that if a foreigner prayer towards the temple, that God will hear the cry of the foreigner and help him/her so that everyone on earth may know His name and fear Him.
Lord, I pray that even as our friends see Your goodness through our lives, I pray that in their darkest times, they will recall how You are always our anchor in our lives. And I pray that in their desperation, they will pray to You because You have become their only hope in life. I pray that Lord You will hear them and they will come to know of the goodness of You. And that everyone on earth may know You and fear You.
Solomon blesses the assembly
Solomon prayed a blessing prayer for the assembly. Let me translate the words that he prayed for Israel for us. Hehe learn from the wisest.
Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to Joel and Mong, according to all that He promised. May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with David. May He not leave us nor forsake us, that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgements. And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the Lord, be near the Lord our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant us as each day may require, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there isno other. Let our hearts therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day,
Jool, we must walk in His ways ok (:
Solomon dedicates the temple
Solomon and all of Israel offered sacrifices before the Lord. After that Solomon held a feast with all Israel for 7 days. Whoa what a party. On the eighth day, he sent the people away and they blessed Solomon and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that the Lord had done for David and for Israel.
