“And you, my son Solomon, accept the God of your father. Serve him completely and willingly, because the LORD knows what is in everyone’s mind. He understands everything you think. If you go to him for help, you will get an answer. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you forever. Solomon, you must understand this. The LORD has chosen you to build the Temple as his holy place. Be strong and finish the job.” Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for building the Temple and the courtyard around the Temple. They included its buildings, its storerooms, its upper rooms, its inside rooms, and the place where the people’s sins were removed. David gave him plans for everything he had in mind: the courtyards around the LORD’s Temple and all the rooms around it, the Temple treasuries, and the treasuries of the holy items used in the Temple. David gave Solomon directions for the groups of the priests and Levites. David told him about all the work of serving in the Temple of the LORD and about the items to be used in the Temple service that were made of gold or silver. David told Solomon how much gold or silver should be used to make each thing. David told him how much gold to use for each gold lampstand and its lamps and how much silver to use for each silver lampstand and its lamps. The different lampstands were to be used where needed. David told how much gold should be used for each table that held the holy bread and how much silver should be used for the silver tables. He told how much pure gold should be used to make the forks, bowls, and pitchers and how much gold should be used to make each gold dish. He told how much silver should be used to make each silver dish and how much pure gold should be used for the altar of incense. He also gave Solomon the plans for the chariot of the golden creatures that spread their wings over the Ark of the Agreement with the LORD. David said, “All these plans were written with the LORD guiding me. He helped me understand everything in the plans.” David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and brave, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, because the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or leave you until all the work for the Temple of the LORD is finished.

Whether you're a saint, a skeptic, or a seeker, everyone at some point deals with the question of God. We all want to discover if God exists and if it's possible to know Him. In this devotional, Skip Heitzig looks at the Bible's claim that it is possible, inviting you to meet your Maker—the almighty God who wants you to believe in Him and return His pursuit of you.
As God’s people, we can always do so much more as a team than as one person. Let’s give our best before the Lord, and Jesus will do something amazing through us. In unison and faithfulness, let’s take a courageous step of faith, knowing that God’s hand is upon us because His heart is before us.
In this 6-day devotional, designed specially for teens, you'll explore how leaders in the Old Testament faced fear, shame, and tough choices but chose to follow God anyway. Each day invites you to reflect on God's grace, truth, and strength so you can live boldly, honestly, and unashamed in your faith.
