“All this,” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans.” v.19
Read chapter 28
Oh don't you wish you had detailed instructions on what to do with your life! Ok so the instructions in this chapter aren't details of what Solomon should do every detail of his life, rather David gave him detailed instructions on how to build the house of the Lord. These just weren't David's architectural mind and plan but God's hand upon David to write these instructions. Yet also we have God's written word in the 66 books that make up the Bible as divine instruction and wisdom for all life's matters- you just have to seek out the answer. I remember hearing once when I first started reading scripture that B.I.B.L.E stood for Beginning Instructions Before Leaving Earth (a fun acronym). It was also especially sweet for Solomon to get instructions passed on before David died. How often someones death happens faster than all the wisdom they had to share or things they wanted to say to others? You may not have God's divine inspiration for a specific situation or specific person but what words of wisdom do you have or want to share before you or someone else dies? Do you value the words of scripture as detailed instructions on how face details of your life? If so, how? If not, why?
