Honoring God
David Honors God
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Building God's House
1 Chronicles 21:25-22:1 New International Version
25 So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels[ a] of gold for the site.26 David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Then the Lord spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath. 28 At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. 29 The tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon. 30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
22 Then David said, “The house of the Lord God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
For Reflection
Bought and paid for with David's own money; this was the land where God directed God's temple to be built. Fearing retribution, David was relieved when the angle sheathed his sword. The temple provided a place for the worship of God.
Pray
Pray in praise and thanksgiving for God, who lives now in the souls of all people. Pray about all things so that you develop a vibrant relationship with your resident Holy Spirit.
