Exalting God in Prayer

1Chron 28-29 Many are the plans of the Lord…but ultimately it is ordered by God.

David wanted to build the Temple for the Lord, but as he noted, God said he could not because he was a man of war. Pro 19:21 There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the Lord that will stand. However, God’s plans are in place for Solomon to build it. In light of this, David has accumulated many riches for Solomon and has prepared the workforce.

David praised the Lord before the entire assembly. O Lord, you are great, mighty, majestic, magnificent, glorious, and sovereign over all the sky and earth! You, Lord, have dominion and exalt yourself as the ruler of all.

David’s prayer is a beautiful ending to his life. We should plan for our destiny and leave it with sweet words of exalting God for those who will follow us.
