Good morning, everyone!
Today I read 1 Chronicles 28-29 and 2 Chronicles 1.
In today's reading, David addresses the people about the building of God's temple, telling them that because he had fought too many battles, God was instead going to allow his son Solomon to build His temple. David then told them that he had already begun preparations for the temple, showed them the plans, and informed them of how much money and how many materials he was able to gather. He then asked how much they could give toward the building of God's temple. The people, inspired, gave a lot.
So, David died, and Solomon became king. And God inquired of him what he would ask as a gift from God. And Solomon requested wisdom to rule God's people. God was pleased that Solomon had not made a selfish request, and in addition to the wisdom, He also gave Solomon riches, honor, and wealth, such as was not possessed by any king before or after him.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read 2 Chronicles 2-5.
