This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

2 Chronicles 5:1 - 7:22

- The ark is brought into the temple, the glory of the Lord fills the house, and Solomon offers a prayer of dedication before the people.

- Fire comes down from heaven to consume the sacrifices; the Lord appears to Solomon at night with promises of blessing for obedience and warnings of judgment for turning away.

1 Corinthians 2:1-16

- Paul reminds the Corinthians that he came not with lofty speech or human wisdom but proclaimed Christ crucified in weakness and dependence on the Spirit.

- True wisdom is revealed by the Spirit of God and is understood only by those who are spiritual, for the natural person cannot grasp the things of God.
