“Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:”
1 Chronicles 28:2 KJV
Although David was a man after God’s own heart, he wanted to build the house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant. Yet God chose his son Solomon, whose name means peace, to build the temple as a resting place for the Ark. The Son of David, Jesus is the Ark of the Covenant today and He said, “foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has not where to lay His Head”. Jesus rested when He cried, “It is finished” at the Cross. Today the Lord Jesus rests in the heart of everyone who believes in the finished work of the Cross. Let us rest in the finished work of the Cross and surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit to make us His Temple. Thank You Holy Spirit!
