2Ch 6:29, 30. Why are we comforted by what Solomon said in his prayer? (w10 12/1 11 par. 7)
We take comfort in what Solomon said because there may not be anyone around us who fully understands what we are going through. But Jehovah loves us very much and he knows the pain of our hearts. Therefore, we do well to tell them about our concerns that weigh us down. Since we can be sure that he will help us carry our burdens, the Bible encourages us to cast our worries on Jehovah because he cares for us as mentioned in 1 Peter 5:7.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
What Solomon said comforts us, because sometimes we are going through such difficult situations that we may think that those around us do not understand us, but we are sure that if Jehovah does not understand himself and understands our pain, that is why we must Tell Jehovah our worries and our burdens and we can be sure that he will help us carry our burdens.
Solomon said that only Jehovah knows our hearts well. Consequently, Jehovah knows what overwhelms us, what worries us, and the pain we have inside. So Solomon's words comfort us, because they teach us that Jehovah fully understands everything we are going through. He also comforts us because he reminds us that Jehovah loves us and cares about us. In addition, these words of Solomon give us the assurance that Jehovah will help us carry our burdens.
And it comforts us because many people don't know what another person is going through, but Jehovah knows what is in our hearts. That is why we can be sure that when we are going through some trial, we can feel free to open our hearts to Jehovah in prayer and he will help us bear our burdens, because he is the hearer of prayer.
At some point in our lives we have felt drowned in a sea of problems and have a feeling that no one can understand suffering or sympathize with our pain, even in those moments we can be sure that there is someone who understands us perfectly, not we refer to our God Jehovah. Solomon was very clear about that and that is why he asks Jehovah to listen to the prayers of his servants.
That is why we must tell Jehovah the worries that weigh us down. We can be completely sure that Jehovah is attentive to our needs or our problems and he is willing to help us carry these heavy loads that we alone could not bear. We may not have anyone around us who fully understands what we are going through, but Jehovah loves us very much and knows the pain in our hearts.
What spiritual pearls have you found about Jehovah, the ministry, and other topics in this week's Bible reading?
2 Chronicles 5:1. It teaches us that it is important to finish what we start, for example our Dedication Promise, this undoubtedly reinforces our sense of commitment and responsibility, qualities that are scarce these days, many get married but fail their spouse, many are baptized and the months no longer meet, and this is so because it is not easy to lead a Christian life as Jehovah asks us, but we must understand that Jehovah deserves that we be faithful until the end.
2 Chronicles 6:14,15. Solomon directs a beautiful prayer to Jehovah, in this he praises him for being a Loyal God, who fulfills his promises. This teaches me that Jehovah has demonstrated for centuries that he is a loyal and trustworthy God. The reason for his loyalty is because he is born out of the love he has for us. And he is a God who keeps his promises because he has both the ability and the will to fulfill what he has proposed. He does not create false expectations in us, but rather, he does promise something and he fulfills it. Therefore, we place full trust in Jehovah, our Loyal God and in his Kingdom promises, these are really good news that will come true.
2 Chronicles 5:12,13. The musical organization of Israel reached its maximum expression in the temple of Solomon. the greatness and magnitude of this can be appreciated by the number of trumpeters, these amounted to 120, and apart, there were also singers who were praising and giving thanks to Jehovah, all at the same time. This teaches me and reminds me that Christians should value the work that our brothers in the Orchestra or Watchtower do to prepare the orchestrated recordings of the songs of the kingdom. Also, let us keep in mind that regardless of whether we are experts or apprentices, we all have the opportunity and the Duty to unite our voices to praise and give thanks to Jehovah.
2 Chronicles 5:13. This text shows that when the temple was inaugurated, Jehovah showed his approval by filling his house of worship with a cloud. Today Jehovah no longer shows his approval in a portentous way, but if we are attentive we will surely be able to perceive if what we are doing is sacred to Jehovah or not. If he gives us his approval, or if on the contrary he rejects us.
2 Chronicles 7:12-14. These verses show that Jehovah prophesied to Solomon that Israel would cease to be in a healthy condition from him, thus it would appear to be the punishment of the plagues. But Jehovah also told him in what way it would be possible to make the earth recover its health again. This teaches me that Jehovah does not change, because for the last days he also has prophesied in advance the punishment that will come to the world. But in the same way, he has recorded in the Bible what things we can do to be forgiven and obtain salvation and eternal life.
2 Chronicles 7:1-3. These verses show that the fire from heaven that kindled the wood on the new altar and that consumed the sacrifices, were a demonstration that Jehovah had accepted both the temple and the altar from it.

This teaches me that Jehovah will dwell in the halls of his kingdom as long as his instructions are followed and our worship is kept pure, because these things are essential to have his approval.
2 Chronicles 5:13. This verse says that the sound of the trumpets, yes, rang out as they praised Jehovah, and that at that moment a cloud filled the temple.

2 Chronicles 5:11,12. These verses show that although normally the priests and the Levites worked in the temple according to a rigorous schedule, on this day all the priests and the Levites were in the service of Jehovah. This bears a similarity to what we, Jehovah's servants, experience today in the seasons of the overseers' visits and in the seasons of commemoration. And it is that, although the pioneers and publishers in general already have their service planned, for these dates we all make a greater effort to support the Ministry more.
2 Chronicles 6:32,33. These verses teach me that Jehovah makes himself accessible to all people, including those who are not part of his people.
