David and the House of God

David’s heart for God came out in many ways, but his greatest display of love for God was his desire to build a glorious house for God. The roots of this desire were found in his early years of building out the city of Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. At that time, God told David that it was not His desire for David to build Him a house; but that God would build a house (an enduring dynasty) for David. Nevertheless, David retained his passion for God’s house.
