May 17, 2021 Bible Study The Lord Has Chosen You. Be Strong and Do the Work.

Today, I am reading and commenting on  1 Chronicles 27-29.

I had written a completely different blog than what follows, but it was not very helpful and as I wrapped it up I started the following.  We can learn from David’s commission to Solomon.  As part of that, David said to Solomon, “…the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”    Each and every one of us should listen to that because God has given us a task.  We also need to be strong and do the work.  However, like me you may be unsure what that task is.  Well, there are two parts of what David tells Solomon which provide us with guidance on that.  First, he tells Solomon, and us, “Be careful to follow all of the commands of the Lord your God.”  A little further on David says, “…acknowledge the God of your father and serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind,…” He also tells Solomon, “if you seek Him, He will be found by you,…”  So, if we do not know the task which God has given us, David’s advice tells us that task is to follow God’s commands, acknowledge Him, server Him, and seek Him with devotion and a willing mind.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
