Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Chronicles 6:20
"That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place."
Solomon is giving the dedicatory prayer for the temple. When I read the part "That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night" I could not help but think of the Ukraine temple. I have been waiting word on if it is still standing. I thought of God's eye being upon it. It also made me go find the dedicatory prayer for the Ukraine temple and read it.
President Thomas S. Monson dedicated the Kyiv Ukraine temple on 29 Aug 2010. Here is a part of what was promised.
"We dedicate the ground on which this temple stands. We dedicate this beautiful structure, from the unseen footings to the majestic figure of Moroni crowning its highest point. We dedicate the baptistry, all of the facilities for administering the sacred ordinances, the endowment rooms, the sealing rooms with their sacred altars, and the lovely celestial room, together with all ancillary facilities and the beautiful grounds with their lawns, flowers, trees and shrubs. Protect all from any devastating influence, destruction or defacement."
