I love reading about David and his devotion to God. Recently read the part where he wanted to build a temple and God said no. <br /><br />To me it is such a sad thing and I believe it was disappointing for David. To me is reveals his own feelings that even David didn't always feel like was worth much.<br /><br />Imagine gathering all that building material and being excited over drawing up plans. In fact,I suspect he had plans already because you don't buy lumber without a blueprint. But to amass all the materials to build God a house and then wake up one morning and look out and know you will never see it begun. And yet, he didn't argue, he just handed it all over to his son. Or maybe he did have some conversation with God about it but he didn't make an effort to go ahead. How disappointing it must have been. <br /><br />Amazing love and dedication.Cynthia I Maddoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172830171634694240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800641818911743359.post-45639630516445781532012-02-24T08:38:21.782-06:002012-02-24T08:38:21.782-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cynthia I Maddoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172830171634694240noreply@blogger.com
