It makes me laugh that Solomon must have felt this way, too! In I Chronicles 29:1, King David said to the people: "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced; and the work is great ..." Wow, that must have been hard to hear! But, thankfully, David didn't stop there. He asked for volunteers to help Solomon complete the job. In the end, the labor was done by the hands of many craftsmen, and many people donated their gold, silver and precious stones to the effort.
. . . . . .
And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord ... then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart, they had offered willingly to the Lord... (I Chronicles 29: 8-9)
. . . . . .
God, again, has me in a place where I feel young and inexperienced, but He has called me to build this community of women, and I am excited to see where this journey takes us. I am surrounded by women who each have their own "precious stones" to share, and I believe that God is again asking for volunteers! What has God given you the heart and the ability to do?
