a house for the LORD

IMG_04241 Chronicles 17

It began in David’s heart as he noticed that he was living in a fine cedar house, but the presence of the LORD (as symbolized by the ark) was residing in a tent.  David wanted to build a more permanent structure for the ark.  He would learn that it would not be him, but one of his sons who would build a temple.  Another of David’s descendants (Jesus) would build a permanent house for God’s presence on earth.  David’s desire reflected the desire of the ages.

LORD, build a permanent house for yourself in our hearts.
