We've vaguely heard that Solomon built God's Temple in Jerusalem. The Ark of the Covenant, also known as the Chest of the Covenant of God, was housed there. Inside the Chest were the two tablets Moses received from God Himself. No place on earth was more holy than this Temple.
But did you catch that two freestanding, bronze pillars graced the entrance to the Temple and that Solomon named them?
Jakin, or Security, and
Boaz, or Stability.
This Temple brought God joy for He was worshiped there.
So Security and Stability marked the gateway to the Temple where joy reigned in praise of God.
If our bodies are now the temples of praise for the Lord, what pillars are characteristic of us?
Think of someone who knows you well. Would he or she say Security and Stability are the pillars of your personality that exists to praise God?
The more the pillars of our personality reflect that which leads to praise and worship of God, the more joy reigns in our life.
