**2 Chronicles 1:5** — *"But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there."*
The altar was old. The craftsman long dead. Yet Solomon didn't bypass it — he *gathered around it.*
There is something profound in this detail. Israel's wisest king, at the height of his ascension, did not construct something new to seek God. He returned to the ancient, consecrated place — the altar built by faithful hands generations before.
This is the nature of covenant wisdom: it honors what God has already hallowed.
We live in an age that prizes the novel. But Scripture reminds us that our forebears in faith built altars worth returning to — in their sacrifice, their obedience, their craft offered to God.
Walk with the inheritance left by faithful stewards before you. What has been consecrated by grace does not grow obsolete.
