SOSIAY: When Our Plans Aren’t God’s Plans: David, Nathan, and the House of the Lord
Description
This week we study the event that occurs between the prophet Nathan and the moment when David feels a great desire to build a house for the Lord. We see that the prophet Nathan says to the King: “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.” But God then reveals to Nathan that, although David desired to build a temple for God, he was not the one who should do it. We see Nathan's obedience in telling him what God had truly spoken about the building of the house of God. And I think there is a principle we must draw from this: are we going to follow our human wisdom or are we going to submit our wisdom to the discernment of the Lord?
In Luke 24, the Ascension of Jesus into heaven is recounted. It is in the Ascension that we find the true beginning of the New Covenant. So I think it is very important that we pay attention to this doctrine.
