Is God honored, worshiped, or obeyed by humans' building projects? The Bible describes the LORD's instructions given to Moses for the construction of the Tent of Meeting. Moses and the people he led are obedient to the LORD, as they carry out those instructions.
The Bible is not so clear about the origin of the motivation for building the temple at Jerusalem. After David builds himself a palace he has an afterthought(?) to build a temple for the LORD. The LORD stops David from building by saying he has shed too much blood and that his son will build a temple for the LORD instead. So whose idea is the temple originally--David's or the LORD's?
What purpose do buildings serve in your life with God, reader?
