1 Chronicles 28

In this chapter, we see King David commissioning his son Solomon to build the Temple. This is a project David wanted to complete but God had other plans. Instead, David\u2019s son would undertake the work of seeing it completed.

David had very specific things he wanted his son to think about and do\u2026

V. 9 - \u201cAnd Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind\u2026\u201d

Everything would flow out of this intimacy with the Lord. Knowing God sets everything else in the right direction, including our writing that we undertake for the Lord.

V. 10 - \u201cSo take this seriously. The Lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.\u201d

Our call to write words that outlive us should be taken seriously. Like David said to Solomon, Jesus tells us Kingdom writers to be strong and do the work.\xa0

V. 19 - \u201cEvery part of this plan,\u201d David told Solomon, \u201cwas given to me in writing from the hand of the Lord.\u201d

God has a specific plan for the books He is calling us to write. He will lead us one sentence at a time.

V. 20 - \u201cThen David continued, \u201cBe strong and courageous, and do the work. Don\u2019t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.\u201d

This is similar to God telling Joshua to be strong and courageous as he leads Israel into the Promised Land. In the same way, God tells us to be strong and courageous as Kingdom writers. He won\u2019t forsake us. He will see to it that the work related to our books is finished correctly.

You and I have been commissioned by the King of kings to write books that impact others for His glory!
