1Ch 28:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : David told them how he had wanted to build a temple for God, but God did not allow him to do it (1 Chronicles 28:2-3 ). He explained that the temple would be a house of rest for the footstool of our God because heaven is God’s throne and the earth is only His footstool (Isaiah 6:1; Psalm 99:5; 132:7 ). David had made preparations for the temple, but God wanted him to focus on leading the people in battle instead. Times of peace are for building, but David’s job was to win peace for Israel (Acts 9:31 ).
