Prepare the Way

SCRIPTURE
“Now devote your heart & soul to seeking the Lord your God.  Begin to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the convenant of the Lord and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the name of the Lord.”    1 Chron. 22:19

 

OBSERVATION

David arranges for the building of the temple by his son Solomon.  David tells him about the word of the Lord given to him about building the temple. The Lord said the task was to be carried out by Solomon. David prepared the way for Solomon and he instructed him to seek the Lord in carrying out this task.

 

APPLICATION

Just as David paved the way for Solomon, we too pave the way for our children or for those training under our leadership by giving them the proper tools to “build their temple” unto the Lord by teaching them to pray, studying the word and making wise decisions in following the Lord.

 

PRAYER
Lord, just as David taught Solomon to be king & worship you with all his heart and to seek you, may I be that example to my child & others who are watching me.  Build your sanctuary within me that I may be a carrier of your presence God, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
