The Lord will build a house for you. (1 Chronicles 17:10)Chapter 17 tells the tale of David's desire to build a temple for the Lord. He couldn't understand why it was okay for him to live in a palace, when God was still living in a tent.
God had a different idea. David wanted to build a house for God, but God purposed to build a house for David. David already had a palace, so what was God talking about? Didn't God know David had some nice digs?
The house God had in mind had nothing to do with beams of cedar or blocks of cut stone. The house God referred to was a dynasty.
What a God! David's heart was to honor God, and God's heart was to honor David.
