1 Chronicles 22: Temple Time

David had been a warrior for the Lord. The bloodshed of David’s lifetime meant that God would not allow him to build the temple. David submitted to this decision and directed his energies to making preparations for the work of building (which was given to his son Solomon). Even with all of this work, it still took years to finish the temple. A good lesson for us to think on is how important our work is as we “get things ready” for those who come after us. Let us make their load lighter even if we have to give up our own dreams.
