1 Chronicles 27-29, Song of Solomon 5

What God said to me – Obedience is what is important – not credit.  All you do should be to please Me and not to get credit or recognition from men.  Look at the temple.  It is known as Solomon’s Temple and yet David is the one who sacrificed and gave generously.  He is the one who prepared.  He is the one I gave the plan.  David’s heart was to please Me and help his son carry out what I required.  He was not focused on his own glory, but on Mine.  A life well lived is one that seeks to please Me and glorify Me.  It is not important where you start out or where you end up in life.  It is the journey in between the start and finish that counts.  Did you walk with Me, or did you go your own way?

1 Chronicles 24-26, Song of Solomon 4

What God said to me – All of My children have duties and assignments to carry out in My house.  I have given each one a ministry and equipped them appropriately for that ministry.  I have assigned each one places and times to serve.  I require that each one be faithful to serve when and where I place them.  Each one and their ministry is essential to My service.  You must learn to seek Me for your assignment.  I will show you when and where you are to serve.  In the meantime, while you are awaiting your next assignment, you must be in My word preparing.  I will teach you and direct you in your preparation.  You must learn to trust that direction from Me and be faithful so you will be a vessel fit for service when I call.

1 Chronicles 21-23, Song of Solomon 3

What God said to me – I chose the site where I will tabernacle among My people, and I chose My people. My choice of them was not as a result of anything they did or anything they would do. It was My choice. That is all you need to know. In the same way, I choose My people today – not because of anything they have done or will do, but by My choice, I call them to Me. Your responsibility as one of My chosen is to build Me a temple in which to dwell. I have provided everything you need for life and godliness. Step by step, listen to My instructions and follow the plan I lay out for you. You are My temple.
