Fire Starter 7.8.22

Justin Baker • July 14, 2022

Thank you for taking the time each morning to read the Fire-starter.
Please share this Fire-starter and others with family and friends. This
morning our Fire-starter comes from 2 Chronicles 4 and the Fire-starter
thought is even kings have a job to do.

Kings and queens and other important personnel don’t just sit around and
collect money, they have a job to do. Although we look at those that we
have voted for in whatever party we can say they don’t do the job like
how we thought they should but yet they have a job and a responsibility.

As I read this passage the Bible states in verse 11 what Huram, Hiram,
did and he completed what he had to do.

Sometimes we think because we are in a role of power we do not have to
do the work yet there is always a work for us to do. Always be willing
to roll up your sleeves and get dirty if you will.

I’m sure Hiram had help making the things that needed to be made but the
Bible states Huram, Hiram, did certain things and he finished the work
given for him to do.

He didn’t stop half way and quit he was willing to work till the end.

My encouragement to you this morning may we be like Hiram and be willing
to work and finish the job we have been given.

Hope you have a wonderful Day!!!!!!

2 Chronicles 4:1-22 KJV
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof,
and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height
thereof. [2] Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim,
round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of
thirty cubits did compass it round about. [3] And under it was the
similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit,
compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was
cast. [4] It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and
three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and
three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and
all their hinder parts were inward. [5] And the thickness of it was an
handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with
flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths. [6] He
made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the
left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt
offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash
in. [7] And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form,
and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the
left. [8] He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five
on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons
of gold. [9] Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great
court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with
brass. [10] And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over
against the south. [11] And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and
the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king
Solomon for the house of God; [12] To wit, the two pillars, and the
pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and
the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on
the top of the pillars; [13] And four hundred pomegranates on the two
wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two
pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars. [14] He made also
bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; [15] One sea, and twelve oxen
under it. [16] The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and
all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the
house of the Lord of bright brass. [17] In the plain of Jordan did the
king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. [18]
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight
of the brass could not be found out. [19] And Solomon made all the
vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the
tables whereon the shewbread was set ; [20] Moreover the candlesticks
with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the
oracle, of pure gold; [21] And the flowers, and the lamps, and the
tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; [22] And the snuffers,
and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the
entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and
the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
