Good afternoon, everyone!
Today I read 1 Chronicles 22-24.
And in today's reading, we learn something interesting.
Solomon didn't draw up plans for the temple and build it on his own. His father, David, who was unable to begin building the temple because he had shed too much blood, was still able to draw up plans for the temple and prepare for it by gathering the materials.
Then, when Solomon became king, in an era of peace, he was able to take the materials and plans, add to them, and build God's temple.
How cool is that?
Even if we can't do something in our lifetime that God has placed in our heart, for whatever reason, we can still draw up the plans, and prepare for it, so that future generations can continue what we began.
And, even if we don't have the resources to begin the preparations for it, we can still pray about it. God hears our prayers, and as long as it's in line with His will and His Word, our prayers can set the foundation for it.
Is there something that God has placed in your heart that you don't see how you could ever accomplish it in your lifetime? Maybe that's not God's purpose for you. Maybe you're the planner rather than the builder. Maybe you're the one who prays rather than the planner. All the roles are important. Just ask God which you are, and don't be frustrated if you don't know how you are going to accomplish it. He'll make a way.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read 1 Chronicles 25-27.
