God sometimes says no as he did to David, not because he did anything wrong, but because God had another plan - a better plan. You can be sure God will do this in your life too! We’ll meet you in Second Samuel chapter seven! God said no to David’s desire to build the temple. He did so not because there was some sin in David’s life but because God had a better plan. And saying no to David would prove to be even more loving than saying yes.

God sometimes says no. And when He does we often wonder why! One answer is that it’s not a good idea, and another is the motive is bad. But what about when God says no to a good idea born out of a good motive? Today we find God saying no to David’s desire to build a house for the Lord.

We’ll pay a visit to Second Samuel six today. Here we find David’s very public worship when celebrating the return of the Ark. David was scorned by his wife for doing so. And to have a spouse do such a thing is a tough pill to swallow? Through it all we’ll be encouraged to keep our eyes on the Lord.

One of the big lessons in front of us today is if we want to experience God’s blessing, we must do God’s work His way and not our own way! In chapter six of Second Samuel, the ark of the covenant is about to be transported to Jerusalem. On the surface that may seem like a good idea! But they didn’t go about it the right way, and David failed to seek the Lord.

How did we get here? What’s the purpose of life? And is there life after death? When you’re looking for answers to the questions of life where do you turn? Well you really have only two options. Today on Abounding Grace we’’ encourage you towards the wisdom of God. But very sadly few people access this wisdom as they should. Instead they run to the world, and that only disappoints.

Perhaps you had a history teacher like I did that would love to say, Those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it! And it’s true isn’t it! Thankfully as we study the Bible we can learn from both the successes and mistakes of people that have gone on before us. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll learn a thing or two from David’s mistakes.

With regards to time you’re either wasting it, spending it or investing it. But a good portion of our lives it seems revolves around waiting. Is it really necessary?
