House for the Name of the LORD
1 Chronicles 22:7
David said to Solomon: "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God.
I don't find this verse in 2 Samuel. In 1 Kings 8 Solomon tells the people of Israel this about his father.
This chapter goes into the extensive preparations David made for building the Temple. He did everything but actually build it. He assembled and prepared the materials, he told Solomon about it, and he told the leaders of Israel to help him.
Because he had the Temple in his heart, he went absolutely as far as he could toward building it. He calls it a house for the Name of the LORD. The Name is God Himself. Only David, who had sought God so consistently, would conceive such a plan.
God, please put some plan in my heart. It doesn't have to be anything so huge, but make it so important that I will do everything I can toward making it real.
