141 The fabric of the Temple was all built in silence. No hammers. No chisels. No iron tools. it Rose like an "exaltation"---so we too live our lives in quiet and confidence. #talkingtomyself
The Temple was built in silence.
No hammers | No chisels | No iron tools were heard.
I Kings 6:7.
It rose like an "exhalation," says one commentary.
"No hammer fell, no ponderous axes rung.
Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung." Reginald Heber

The fabric of the Sanctuary - roof, walls, floor.
The fabric tugged in silence in the New Testament. Mark 5:27.

The fabric of the Savior Himself - his robe.
We are to live out our lives in quietness and in confidence. Isaiah 30:15.
Thy Kingdom Come.

Thy Kingdom Come.
Never an Observer. Always a Participator.
But that still small Voice.
The One we hear behind us, saying, this is the way. Walk in it.
And the commentary speaks to me: "Don't mistake notoriety for spiritual progress." The Kingdom went unnoticed by the Caesars and the philosophers of the day. The commentator said it grew silently like a baby in the womb, unheard, unnoticed, unknown. But this New Kingdom.

Changes people
in degrees,
radically,
publicly,
inches.
This new humanity was not so sudden.
“Concerning this house that you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you." No better thought. No better plan.
PHOTO: I have tugged at His fabric for as long as I can remember. Even as a Catholic school girl. Sacred Heart was my first invitation to the Savior. But the real tug came when I was in my junior year at LSU and wild as the winds of a tornado. I knew there had to be more. A whole lot more than what I was experiencing. And I found Him. And I turned to a whole new life. And I raised up a generation of kids offering them the Truth I found. Trying to live it out my troubled past before them every day. This is a grandkid.
