Oh boy, here we go again…4 TONS of silver. I have no idea where it was mined or who did it or how they hauled. Where's Kip, Andy or Rob when you need them? I guess we should look and feel a little differently about those valuable pieces we have. Is some of the gold, silver, etc. from these times? Thanks Ranchmom.
Chapter after chapter, we read that the Kings continued to sin against the Lord. That they were more impressed with idols and other sinful living. Those that followed the Lord were rewarded with longer reigns and lives.
Like your comment on Psalm 74. Amy Grant's new song "Better than a Hallelujah" is a great song that helps share that instead of trying to say the "right" thing, be open and honest in our prayer.
ReplyDeleteMany of the Psalms are songs of lament. We are so sheltered here in America from what difficulty and tragedy the people were facing in King's and in the Psalms that for them to cry out the frustrations to God shows tremendous faith in tough times. It is affirming when we struggle that we need to take this to God in prayer.
I was curious so I looked up the weight of one bar of silver and one bar of gold. It depends of course on what type of mold is used but in general, it looks like 1 ton of silver could be put into 28 bars and 1 ton of gold could be put into 74 bars. I suppose if you did melt it and cast it into bars, you could distribute these over multiple carts to carry it around.
