What Does 1 Kings 6:15 Mean?
Attention turns inward. The stone walls are paneled within with boards of cedar, from floor to ceiling, and the floor itself is laid with planks of fir. The bare stone is wholly clothed in fragrant wood.
Inside the house, where few would ever see, the same care and beauty reign. The hidden interior is finished as richly as anything on view. So worship offered to God is to be whole and sincere all the way through, not a fine face over a careless inside. What is given to God is made beautiful even where no human eye will look.
