2 Sam 7
Do you have the heart for God? 你有上帝的心吗?
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.”
David was not asking the Lord for a blessings. the Lord did not ask Him to build a house so that His glory may be made know. David did not ask the Lord what he can do for Him and the Lord answered do this or that.
This was what the Lord said, 6 I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling. 7 In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges [1] of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’
The people of Israel, none of them had mentioned to each other or suggest in one way or another to build a house for the Lord, assuming that the tent was fine for the Lord. Or it was with the assumption that if the Lord wants to build Himself a house He would asked someone to do it.
Of course if you have not know God, fine. But if you have known God, who is the Lord to you. He who has bless you so much. Yes it is easy to ask what you want me to do and I will do it for you. Sure?
god is just the Lord who wanted you heart. He dont need anything from you and He lack nothing. If he say so, it will be done. So it is not the things you can do for Him, it is your heart.
What is then that you are doing throughout the day that God is still in your heart?
