I know the whole Bible is God breathed and useful for teaching . . . but I must admit in my reading through the Old Testament it gets tough to extract a thought for the day. Not today. This morning in I Chronicles David is aware that God is not going to use him to build a permanent structure of cedar for God to dwell, but that privilege was going to be given to his son Solomon. I either forgot, or never knew that David set Solomon up with the many of the resources to accomplish this great task. David gathered materials for the next generation, for his son, to accomplish this great work. My dad set me up in many ways. He invested, provided, encouraged, lived a life of obedience in front of me and launched me into this world giving me all he had toward my success. I am now readying my girls to be launched. What resources beyond monetary do I have still to pour into them, to give them, to establish them for obedience to God?
