2Sa 7:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : David thought about building a temple for God. He realized he lived in a beautiful house made of cedar, but the ark of God was still kept in a tent. David felt this was not right and wanted to build a better place for the ark . He remembered how he had been restless until he found a place for the ark (Psalm 132:4-5 ). Now he wanted to do even more for God. This shows that grateful people always look for new ways to honor God, and they cannot be happy while God’s house is in need. David’s attitude was different from those who only cared about their own comfort and ignored the needs of God’s house (Amos 6:4,6 ).

‏ 2 Samuel 7:2

v. 2: David thought about building a temple for God. He realized he lived in a beautiful house made of cedar, but the ark of God was still kept in a tent. David felt this was not right and wanted to build a better place for the ark . He remembered how he had been restless until he found a place for the ark (Psalm 132:4-5 ^a). Now he wanted to do even more for God. This shows that grateful people always look for new ways to honor God, and they cannot be happy while God’s house is in need. David’s attitude was different from those who only cared about their own comfort and ignored the needs of God’s house (Amos 6:4,6 ^b).
