The work in which his son Solomon was given to do, for which David said, in what we looked at yesterday, Solomon was in need of help, was a great work.
The temple was the center of worship for Israel. It was the center of their relationship with the Lord.
We have been tasked with a great work. We are to make disciples. We are to seek His kingdom first. We are to build His Church. Not buildings. Not organizations. People. We are to invest our lives in building up people in the Lord.
We have models.
We can look at the gospels and see how Christ built people up in the Lord. We can read Acts and see how four generations of believers were built. We can read the epistles and see how John, Paul, and Peter continued to work to encourage and build up believers.
That great work has been passed to us. As David provided the materials for Solomon, so we have been provided the materials by the Son of David.
It is a great work.

I LOVE the photo! What joy that this is going on all over the world. God is fulfilling His promises, and what a privilege to have a tiny part...
