1 Kings 8.62-66
(v. 63) Solomon sacrificed thousands of animals to "[dedicate] the temple of the LORD."
(v. 64) Solomon sacrificed grain and leftovers from the previous sacrifices to "[consecrate] the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the LORD."
If I am "God's temple" (1 Cor. 3.16), then sacrifices I am called to make in life are part of the process of my being consecrated, dedicated to God.
