"Then Solomon said, 'My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. But the LORD told him, "You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good, but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me."'"
1 Kings 8:17–19

Encouragement for Today
David truly wanted to honor God by building a Temple in Jerusalem, but it wasn't in God's plan for David to be the builder of the Temple. Even though David's motives were pure, his plans were thwarted. The same can be true for us today. Don't be discouraged if your good intentions don't always end up the way you envisioned them. Instead, celebrate the ministry you do have and encourage others to share in your vision of great things. Perhaps God has placed a person in your life who is perfectly suited to see your ideas come to life.
