Day 124: Covenant, Splendor, and WARNING in 2 Chronicles 7-9 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 124 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 2 Chronicles 7-9. God responds to Solomon’s temple dedication with fire and a covenant promise, conditioned on obedience. Solomon’s wealth and wisdom dazzle the Queen of Sheba, but God’s warning underscores the fragility of blessing without fidelity.

Questions:
1. God’s fire consuming the offerings in chapter 7 affirms His acceptance—how does this divine act deepen our theological understanding of God’s presence as both gracious and holy, pointing to the Spirit’s indwelling in the New Covenant?

2. The Queen of Sheba’s awe at Solomon’s splendor in chapter 9 reflects God’s blessing—how might this display challenge us to reflect on the theological tension between earthly glory as a sign of divine favor and the call to humility before God?

3. God’s conditional promise in chapter 7 ties blessing to obedience—how does this covenant dynamic invite us to wrestle with the theological reality of human responsibility within God’s sovereign grace, fulfilled in Christ’s perfect faithfulness?
