King Solomon built the Lord's temple in Jerusalem.

While Solomon was building the temple, the lord gave his this message, "Concerning this Temple you are building, if you keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David. I will live among the Israelites and will never abandon my people Israel. (1 Kings‬ ‭6:11-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

The God did not promise his blessing because of the impressive temple Solomon was building, instead, he will bless them only if they keep all his decrees and regulations and obey all his commands.

So worship the lord with all your heart and soul. Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols.

Blessings

Bible verses

Then the LORD gave this message to Solomon: “Concerning this Temple you are building, if you keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David. I will live among the Israelites and will never abandon my people Israel.” 1 Kings‬ ‭6:11-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.” 1 Samuel‬ ‭15:22-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
