When Solomon prayed at the dedication of the temple, ( see 2nd Chron 6 ) he not only knew that God kept His promises, but he knew something else.........He knew that God hears prayer, and that God forgives sin.
How did he know these two things?
We are not told for sure, but I'm thinking he learned it from his father David. You see David had sinned, and David had prayed and asked for forgiveness, ( see Ps 32, and Ps 51 )
Solomon was the son of the woman named Bathsheba. She was the one David had sinned with.
When you read the book of Proverbs, ( most of the 31 chapters were written by Solomon ) he talks about what his father and mother had taught him.
So, two very important and wonderful truths about God. He hears our prayers and will forgive our sins.
Can I pray with you and for you right now. Father.........Thank You for hearing our prayers. Thank You for being a forgiver of our sins. Please hear any right now who are calling out to You, and forgive them their sins as they come to You Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
