1 Kings 8:31-66
Uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel according to each day's need, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other. But your hearts must be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.
Solomon prayed to the Lord, whoever in any situation comes to the temple or turn forward to the direction of this temple, may the Lord listen to his servant's prayer.
Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty an bring down on his own head what he has done. Declare the innocent not guilty, and so establish his innocence.
For the Lord alone knows the hearts of all men.
As for the foreigner who does not belong to Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name, when he comes and prays toward this temple, then hear from heaven so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, so do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
Why?
Solomon prayed for the Israelite and anyone comes to this temple, when they pray to the Lord or confess their sin, the Lord hear from them and justify them, save them.
All of these prayer and God's power is let all the peoples of the earth may know the Lords is God and that there is no other.
No only people of Israel but also foreign people may come to worship the Lord, God is the God of all people, if you turn your heart to Him.
Fully committed to the Lord, there is not any of my own mind but only follow the command of the Lord, there is not any idea from the world buteu depends on the way of the Lord, forsake all of my selfish mind and strategy.
How?
Dear heavenly father, forgive my sin and my selfish mind, please full fill you Holy spirit in my heart, please lead my way forward, I am ready to listen to your instruction. Please guide my each step forward. My life is yours, my everything is your gift. You are worthy to worship and your name be exalted. Praise be to the Lord
