God does more than you can Imagine
1 Chronicles 17:1-27
More than anything, David desired to build a magnificent temple to honor the Lord. He had big plans and all kinds of resources ready. Even Nathan the prophet thought a temple was a great idea. Then God spoke. Through a revelation to Nathan, God revealed that David would not be the one to achieve that goal. The message Nathan shared began with God's 'no' but ended with amazing promises to David. One of David's offspring [Solomon] would indeed build the temple, and David's throne would be established forever.
Whenever you sense that God is saying no to your prayer, don't focus on your disappointment over not having your will done. If you do that, you may miss the joy of something much better that can come about if God's will is done. God's will is always richer and better than anything you can imagine.
