Today I read 1 Chronicles 22, in which David gathered supplies so Solomon is prepared to build the temple. Today I considered that preparation before beginning a project is the wise choice.
Preparation Before Building
David gathered supplies, information, and helpers for Solomon to build God’s temple (1 Chronicles 22:2-19). David knew he couldn’t build God’s temple because of all the blood on his hands, but God would allow his son Solomon to build it. David gathered gold, silver, iron, brass, timber, and stone. David told Solomon of the people who could hew stone and also work the metals. David commanded people to help Solomon, and had Solomon to seek God in how to build the sanctuary. We should remember that before we do a project we need to gather supplies and workers to complete the project.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
Have you or someone you know had to start a project or activity all over again because you did not have all the necessary supplies?
