Devotion

1 Chron 17:1-14

David (despite God excusing him from building the Temple) sacrificed his own resources, to lay the basis for building of the temple. It wasn’t his responsibility but he decided to give his son a head start in life by contributing to the building of the Temple. As a father he wanted his son covered and not having to start from the beginning. He said I have more than enough, God wouldn’t have required it of him and that action moved God to say since you are so keen to build me a house I will establish you- the throne will not depart from your house.

The challenge for us is to determine to provoke God with our actions, decide to make him move for us in your circumstance, do something beyond the call of duty and see God acting on your behalf to do the things you can’t. Do the unthinkable to allow God to move into your situation like David did with his generosity. God is faithful and always rewards.
