When we moved to Florida, we had the option of building a new house. I never thought we’d be able to do that. By the grace of God we had enough equity to build when startup costs were affordable. Before we move, we looked at lots of houses, but decided we needed to build new. It was the right decision.
David wanted to build. He wanted to build a house for God. A temple. A place of worship.
As usual, God has a better idea. This wouldn’t be David’s project. It would be his son’s. And God’s.
It was more important for God to build David’s house. It was more important for God to insure that David’s descendants would always rule his people. It was more important that God make a house, or dynasty, for David. Our projects are always so small compared to what God has planned.
In the end, we don’t have to do anything for God. He does everything for us. He creates, saves, and blesses us. We can do nothing in return, except to live as those who have been created, delivered, and blessed.
David is a part of our Jesse Tree because one of his descendants, Jesus, will be the king God’s people always needed.
Waite for it...
