Father God, You turned down the offer from King David to give back more than You asked. Instead, You provided a way to bring his idea about through Solomon. Then, You gave David more than he could wrap his mind around and promised to establish David’s throne forever. For whatever little I bring as offering, You multiply more than ten-fold. I bring a blessing to my Lord, and You return more than I can fathom. Thank You for your grace and provision in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.

“But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, ‘Go and tell my servant David, “Thus says the Lord: Would you build me a house to dwell in? 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.”‘” (2 Samuel 7: 4-6 ESV)
