"And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work."—1 Chronicles 28:9–10
Encouragement for Today
"David's public charge to his son Solomon is a charge every Christian parent gives: worship and serve God with your whole heart and with a willing mind; seek him always, understand your calling—your special way to serve God in the world; and be strong and do the work. David had laid lots of groundwork for Solomon to build the Temple, which was David's dream and was to become Solomon's calling. David had secured the materials and made the blueprint. He had thought everything through, and he passed it all on to Solomon. What preparations have you made for the next generation?" —Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
