Men of great faith and their Visions

Part 2


As i said below David was loved by God very much. But he made horrible mistakes that cost him alot of pain and grief. He lost a baby, and there was war within his household. 1 chronicles 22 is about Solomon and Davids talk b4 Davids death.

David says to Solomon that it was in his heart to build a temple for God. But God told him because all the shed blood he was not to build the temple. Now he started collecting the tools and things need to build, but was not to build the temple. But his son Solomon was appointed by God to build the temple.

David had the vision but never Got to see it through, because of his sins were so great.But because Davids unconditional love for God, David had prayed and repented for his sins. God forgave him but, David still had to live with the consequences of the sin.

Moses was another great man of God and made mistakes. He was told by God to do something a certain way and did it another way and out of anger. So in the end he had to suffer the consquences and never enter into the promised land. Moses could see it in the distance but never got to be a part of the joy and blesssings of the vision God had given him. But he still lead the people in the right direction of the vision God had given. Moses suffered the consequences of his actions in the end just as David and just as all of us will.

Now God forgave both men. Just as he will with us, but we all will have to suffer the consequences of our actions. David and Moses both had visions that they started but never got to carryout. Someone else finished the vision. But they still where forgiven. So If God forgave these men who are we to judge our neighbor and condem them. We should be praying for them.

Remember:1 Corinthians 3:16.
16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
As long as u ask yourself this Question b4 u do anything u will be fine. Also be looking for God's fingerprints in everything you do.
