Under the authority of the Lord

1 Kings 5:1-6
Solomon remember that the Lord has promised his father David to build the temple for God's name.
For God has given Solomon rest on every side and there is no adversary or disaster.
Friendship with the Phoenician kingdom of Tyre, to the north is further cemented by a trade-pact: Hiram will supply raw materials for the Temple in return for foodstuffs.
Cedars from Lebanon: Lebanon is the mountain range and these cedars are the finest timber available. Just a few of these mighty trees remain today where once there was a great forest.
Why?
Solomon need finest timber to build Temple for God's name. Even Solomon explained the reason to foreign country.
Solomon read-pack to get the best profits and he raise the name of God. He knew that it is the Lord let him be on the throne succeed to his father David.
How?
Look our daily work as God's work to serve, for all I am facing are under the authority of the Lord.
