2 Chronicles 6-10
When Solomon has completed the construction of the Temple of the Lord, he holds a dedication ceremony. He uses the opportunity to remind the people of Israel that they are to be holy... and if they should sin, then they must repent. But he does something else too. It's almost as if he is reminding God of the promises that God has made.. as if God had perhaps forgotten and he wanted to make sure that God remembered.
Why do we do things like that? Why do we assume the the omniscient creator of the world would forget an agreement that he made with us, when we are the ones that tend to forget our side of the covenant? Is it to remind ourselves of the agreement or justify having broken it... as if he must have broke it too so it's okay that we did?
