The exhortation that the man after God’s own heart gives to his son on the occasion of his handing the throne over to him are significant for us. I suggest that you make a list of all that David advised Solomon. Is any of it appropriate for application to your own life?
Isn’t it interesting that giving offerings for the temple to be built was a joyous event, prompting the people to praise not themselves for being such generous givers, but to praise God? The description of that experience demonstrates what an act of worship giving should be. If you aren’t to the point where you can give generously to God with a willing and glad heart, don’t neglect to give, for that would be failing to worship in that way. Rather, work on the generous and willing and joyful parts!
Note what David prayed for the people and for Solomon in chapter 29. These are great ideas for how we can pray for others in general and our children in particular.
