1 Chronicles 17 - Day 575

1 Chronicles 17 - Day 575 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: 1 Chronicles 17:1-4

Observation: David expresses his concerns of wanting to build a temple for the Ark of God to Nathan the prophet, who then presumptuously grants him permission to do "whatever you have in mind."

Application: Good ideas aren't always necessarily from God, so don't presume that they are.  Nathan overstepped his position and assumed that God would be pleased with David's request to build a temple for the Ark.  

Prayer: Lord, forgive my arrogance and please reveal Your will...
