We do not understand all the reasons why, but it was not God’s plan for David to build His house. Maybe He knew it would go to David’s head; or that the people would begin to idolize David. Whatever the reason, God made clear that a spiritual “house” is more important than a physical one. God shared His plan for the legacy that David would have, including a direct line to the Savior. David was obedient to God and did not build the temple. God was faithful and David’s legacy went far beyond his rule as king. Today, take time to pray and listen…what is your role in God’s plan?
