Lord God, there is none like you who deserves all praise and honor. King Solomon’s temple was gilded with gold and greater than anything known at the time, but your heaven far exceeds it. I long to see the streets of gold and walk beside the glassy sea of Scripture. Even so, come. I wait in the precious name and powerful authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold. The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing beside the armrests, while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps.” (2 Chronicles 9:17-19 ESV)
