In
building projects a large public gift and a group of leadership
gifts can glorify God and result in great generosity and rejoicing.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
1
Chronicles 29:1-9
Then King David turned to the entire assembly…The work ahead of
(Solomon) is enormous, for the Temple he will build is not just
another building--it is for the LORD God himself! Using every
resource at my command, I have gathered as much as I could for
building the Temple of my God. Now there is enough gold, silver,
bronze, iron, and wood, as well as great quantities of onyx, other
precious stones, costly jewels, and all kinds of fine stone and
marble. And now because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am
giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in
the construction. This is in addition to the building materials I
have already collected for his holy Temple. I am donating…gold…and
silver…Now then, who will follow my example? Who is willing to give
offerings to the LORD today?” Then the (leaders)…all gave
willingly…they gave…gold…gold coins…silver…bronze…iron…and precious
stones…The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given
freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD, and King David was filled
with joy.
Where God guides, He provides.
What God orders, He pays for.
God’s work, done in God’s way, never
lacks God’s supply.
In successful God-honoring building
projects, it takes a few extravagantly generous gifts, combined with
dedicated leadership gifts to make the project one of great
rejoicing.

Christian School Refund Check
When my
friend Bob first started giving 10% of his paychecks to the LORD, he was
really scared to do this. One Sunday, Bob came to church with his check
already written out. He saw me and said, “Brian, you better start
praying. By giving this check today, I have no idea how my family is
going to make it this week." I began praying and on Thursday night Bob
called to let me know how God provided. On Wednesday, he got a letter
from his children’s Christian school, saying a recent audit showed that
3 years earlier he had overpaid tuition by $138, and the refund check
was enclosed. I jokingly told Bob that this was truly a bona-fide
answer-to-prayer financial miracle since no Christian school in the
history of the world had ever sent any parents a refund check!
