1 Chronicles 22:2-23:32
We need visionaries. We need managers. We need workers. David was a visionary. He had the original idea of building the Temple. Solomon was a manager. Under his leadership, the vision became a reality. David was important - but he was only involved in the ‘preparation’ for the building of the Temple (22:5). Solomon was important - ‘He shall build a House for My Name’(22:9-10) - but he couldn’t do everything. The people were important. They were the workers. Without the workers, the work remains undone. Each of us must play our part. We must ‘do the work for the service of the House of the Lord’(23:24). In this work, there is something we must never forget - ‘thanking and praising the Lord’(23:30). David, Solomon, the people - they were all important. More important is the Lord. We need Him.
