God had already told David that even though David desired to
build God a Temple, it would be David’s son Solomon (unborn at the time he
heard this) who would build it. David
had been out of fellowship with God due to his sin with Bathsheba and his
counting of the people, but there on Mount Moriah when God had halted the death
angel’s march and accepted David’s sacrifice by sending fire down from heaven
to consume it, David knew that his
sin was forgiven and that he was
back in fellowship with the Lord. David
also knew that Ornan’s property was where
the Temple was to be built. He might not be allowed to build it, but he could prepare the
materials, workers, blueprints, and financing for it.
David also encouraged his son Solomon regarding the
monumental task of building the temple.
He assured him that it was God’s will,
he reminded his of God’s faithfulness,
and he encourage him by giving him everything he’d accumulated for the project,
my commentary said.
Father, thank You for the encouragement I received from this chapter.
Just thinking of how You communicated so intimately with David – not just
a sense that this was Your will, but
a firm assurance that it was is
amazing. No other kin and no other
nation received such assurance. Speak to
me and help me to stay in Your will.
Remove sin from my life. Guide me
to that which You would have me do, Father.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
