God Won't Leave You!

1 Chronicles 28:11-20 (The Message)

11-19 Then David presented his son Solomon with the plans for The Temple complex: porch, storerooms, meeting rooms, and the place for atoning sacrifice. He turned over the plans for everything that God's Spirit had brought to his mind: the design of the courtyards, the arrangements of rooms, and the closets for storing all the holy things. He gave him his plan for organizing the Levites and priests in their work of leading and ordering worship in the house of God, and for caring for the liturgical furnishings. He provided exact specifications for how much gold and silver was needed for each article used in the services of worship: the gold and silver Lampstands and lamps, the gold tables for consecrated bread, the silver tables, the gold forks, the bowls and the jars, and the Incense Altar. And he gave him the plan for sculpting the cherubs with their wings outstretched over the Chest of the Covenant of God—the cherubim throne. "Here are the blueprints for the whole project as God gave me to understand it," David said.

20-21 David continued to address Solomon: "Take charge! Take heart! Don't be anxious or get discouraged. God, my God, is with you in this; he won't walk off and leave you in the lurch. He's at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of God. You have all the priests and Levites standing ready to pitch in, and skillful craftsmen and artisans of every kind ready to go to work. Both leaders and people are ready. Just say the word."

Sounds like quite a job to me! Very detailed plans for the temple, yet God gave David the blueprints for the whole project. Then assures him to not be discouraged because God would be with him, He would be at his side until the end. I don't know about you but this is so comforting to my heart! This reinforces to me along with other scriptures that God will never leave me or forsake me. No matter what happens we can have specific instructions. Every time you open the Word of God you will find the "road map" to be on. He will not steer us in the wrong direction. I want to encourage you to seek God for the instructions you need to finish your task. Don't give up because it looks to big or hopeless. It is not, nothing is to hard for God. Have a blessed day! Remember who you are in Christ.
