In the 22nd chapter, from the book of 1 Chronicles, King David selected the location for the Lord's Temple. He provided many supplies, from iron for the nails, bronze, gold, silver, and cedar logs.
His son Solomon was young, and he began making preparation for the Temple early on. God also told him that he would never see the Temple in its finished form, so he instructed his son on how the Temple would be built to honor the Lord of Israel.
Before all of this, the Lord had told David that he had fought in many battles and that he would have a son named Solomon who would live in peace from their enemies. David then ordered all of the leaders within Israel to assist Solomon on the Temple's construction.
David worked hard all of his life to provide for his son and the people of Israel. He also stored many materials to be used to build the Temple instead of squandering it on useless human material items.
What in your life have you storied to provide for your ancestors when you are long gone? A few weeks ago, my grandfather of 96 years passed away. He may not have had much in the way of monetary wealth, but what he did provide was a deep love for God, for his children and their children and so on, as well as his late wife. She was his "forever loving doll." He treated her like an angel, and as a man myself, he taught me how to treat a woman with great respect and kindness. His character was worth more than all the gold in the world.
