1 Chronicles 29:3
Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house.
Today's Thought: The way you look at the house of God reflects the way you look at God Himself.
Title 4 of the United States Code is considered as the Flag Code of the country; other countries have their own flag codes or even laws. The Flag Code provides a comprehensive regulation and restriction on the use and display of the United States flag. This is specifically laid out because the flag represents the nation. If one disrespects the flag, it is a direct assault to the nation's honor.
In the final days of David, he reminded his son, Solomon, to build the house of God as he had already prepared the materials needed. In 1 Chronicles 29:3, David talks of his love for the house of God, that his heart years for the house of God. In one of the his psalms, David announces how he enjoys going to the house of God. This passage asks us how much reverence and love do we have for the house of God. The way we love and look at the house of God is also the way we love our God. Though God dwells in our hearts, all things that are holy to God reflects the majesty of the Lord.
In these days when people have already forgotten and neglected the importance of the house of God, Christians should be reminded on how we should behave in the house of God, as Paul said. We can only show our deep love for God whom we do not see by giving love and reverence to a tangible manifestation of God.
