1 Chronicles and Psalms
Psalm 132 relays how David had exclaimed that he would build God a house on earth. Knowing what a psalm of ascent is, this psalm really makes sense because it is all about God’s temple in Jerusalem. It’s
also interesting to see how in 1 Chronicles 17, also in today’s reading, we can read again of David’s desire to build God a temple. He wanted to honour God by giving him a beautiful and wonderful place
to reside.
I don’t always think of my body being a temple, but if we have
received Jesus into our hearts and placed our trust in Him, we are all temples! David never got the chance to build a temple, yet he continually strove to honour God with all his heart. I have a temple of the Lord right here, and what am I doing with it? Am I honouring
God?
