“… the Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.” 2 Sam 7:26

God told Nathan to instruct David that He was going to establish through him the throne of His kingdom forever. Notice God was looking for a willing servant (vs 26) not a designer. David never constructed the temple it was his son Solomon who did, but it was established through David’s willingness to serve. Many Christians are willing to let God move in, but just don’t rearrange anything.  They are more interested in doing the design work themselves, they just want God to pay for it. Don’t relegate God to just being a landlord, that you just simply pay a tithe to occasionally but claim the structure as your own. Yet, when you get a few cracks or in need of repairs you quickly summon his ability to do so. 1 Cor 6:19 “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… ye are not your own. For ye are bought with a price…” Don’t be more worried about doing the designing and claiming ownership, but more so your willingness to serve in building it according to His design. God constructed your body, Jesus paid for your body, and the Holy Spirit designs it for their purpose. Your job is to be willing to be faithful in doing the labor.

Wonder all you want, but as long as you can see the Temple you’re never lost!
