Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in holy awe:

“Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting. And he reigned over Israel.”
(2 Chronicles 1:13)

I’ve got a question, Jesus:

Why in the world would You appear to Solomon

there?

This was one of those detestable “high places” You told Israel to destroy.

Other nations had worshiped their idols there
shrine prostitutes often sold themselves nearby 
unthinkably, kings would sacrifice their own children in the fire.

Why in the world would You meet with Solomon

and offer him whatever He wanted

there?

At first this seems puzzling –

even contradictory.

But on reflection, You’re giving me an amazing glimpse into who You are:

Even when I find myself in the wrong place!

when I drop to my knees before You with humility, gratitude and sincerity

You will shower me with more love

than I have ever known.
