1 Kings 6:37-38
"In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv. And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it."
1 Kings 7:1
"Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house."
Thirteen years to build our own houses and seven years to build God's house. This is exactly how we treat God.
