What Does 1 Kings 7:11 Mean?
Upon the massive foundation the walls rose in courses of finely cut stone interlaid with cedar. The same costliness that marked the base carried upward through the whole structure.
The work above matches the work below; the visible answers to the hidden. A life built well does not save its excellence for show but keeps the same quality from foundation to roof. The Lord seeks this wholeness in His people, where the outward walls are made of the same true stone as the foundation that no one sees.
