Today's reading: I Kings 4, 5, 6; Psalm 11, 41, 71, 101, 131; Proverbs 11
I Kings 5:5, "And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name."
If you could do anything at all and you could not fail at it, what would it be? Hudson Taylor said, "Attempt great thing for God. Expect great things from God." Such wisdom! Hudson Taylor was one of the greatest modern day missionaries. He won so many in China because of his philosophy. It is correct because it is in line with the teaching of the Bible.
If you remember king David wanted to build God's house and God forbid him because he was a man of blood. He did promise him that his son Solomon would build it. Solomon's temple is a fantastic sight I am told. What a huge task to undertake. I don't think I could do it.
You see it has not been put in my heart to build it. There are things that I desire to do for God. If I do not get motivated and do them I will one day look back and my life will be gone and all I will have is, "I was going to...". How sad.
Again I ask, If you could do anything for God and know you could not fail, what would it be? Have you started yet?
