“No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.”

 Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart!

Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to assist Solomon in this project. 

Now seek the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. 

Lord God my Father,

Keep my heart in proper perspective, give me strength and persistence to do your will. Help me to assemble a team to join me in doing your will. May your Glory shin freely in all I do.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
