1Ch 29:1, Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: “MY SON SOLOMON, WHOM ALONE GOD HAS CHOSEN, IS YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED; AND THE WORK IS GREAT, BECAUSE THE TEMPLE IS NOT FOR MAN BUT FOR THE LORD GOD.
Anything we do for the LORD is no small task in HIS eyes; for we are building HIS holy temple, not of rock or stone, but of people!
1Ch 29:3, Moreover, BECAUSE I HAVE SET MY AFFECTION ON THE HOUSE OF MY GOD, I HAVE GIVEN TO THE HOUSE OF MY GOD, OVER AND ABOVE ALL THAT I HAVE PREPARED FOR THE HOLY HOUSE, MY OWN SPECIAL TREASURE OF GOLD AND SILVER:
DAVID’S TREASURE WAS NOT MONEY, BUT IT WAS THE LORD, HIS GOD!
Mat 6:21, FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO.
1Ch 29:9, Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly.
All that we give actually belongs to the LORD!
1Ch 29:11-12, Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; FOR ALL THAT IS IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH IS YOURS; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all. BOTH RICHES AND HONOR COME FROM YOU, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; IN YOUR HAND IT IS TO MAKE GREAT AND TO GIVE STRENGTH TO ALL.
Col 3:23, And whatever you do, do it heartily, AS TO THE LORD AND NOT TO MEN,
