1 Chronicles 28:11-19

Then David gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the mercy seat; and the plan of all that he had in mind for the courts of the house of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of the house of God, and the treasuries for dedicated gifts; for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and all the work of the service in the house of the Lord; for all the vessels for the service in the house of the Lord, the weight of gold for all golden vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service, the weight of the golden lampstands and their lamps, the weight of gold for each lampstand and its lamps, the weight of silver for a lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand in the service, the weight of gold for each table for the showbread, the silver for the silver tables, and pure gold for the forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each; for the silver bowls and the weight of each; for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord. “All this he made clear to me in writing from the hand of the Lord, all the work to be done according to the plan.” (ESV)

by Linda Harris

Like passing a baton in a relay race, David handed Solomon the plans for the temple. David acknowledged that the Holy Spirit gave him the details, just as God told Moses the specifications of the tabernacle. When the Holy Spirit speaks today, he may not give us as many details as he gave David, but his message is just as reliable. For the Christian, the Holy Spirit dwells within, available at any moment to impart wisdom, if we are willing to receive it.
