Dad was one to have shed countless blood being a thorn in the philistines thigh. God gave his enemies into his hands and saw him as a righteous man. And yet, God did not want to his temple to be built by such a man. This honourable task would have increased David's reputation as an effective warrior and yet he was contempt with the position God had given him. Instead of building the temple David made plans and collected the materials so that the next in line would work on it. Sometimes when God says no to our plans we should utilize the other opportunities he gives us. I hope that sooner rather than later I can accept my part in God's plan/family and not try go beyond it.
