here shall be the house

LAND1D (3)1 Chronicles 21:18-22:19

After David had purchased the threshing floor of Ornon and averted the plague, he builds an altar there and sacrifices to God on the site.  Then, he gets the idea that the site could serve as the location of the temple Solomon is to build.  So, he declares “here shall be the house of the LORD God.”   Those reading David’s words centuries later would look up and see the results of that declaration.  the massive temple and all its associated grounds and buildings would remind generations that it was the LORD who had established Israel, for his purposes.

LORD, may our lives be so dedicated to you, that generations after us people will know that you lived in us.
