In 1 Chronicles 28:20 we read:(Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished. David advised Solomon not to be frightened about the size of his task as King and builder of the temple.) Fear can immobilize us. The size of a job, its risk, or the pressure of the situation can cause us to freeze and do nothing. One remedy for fear is found here, don’t focus on the fear, instead, get to work . Getting started is often the most difficult and frightening part o a job.

In 1 Chronicles 28:9 We read that the Lord searches every heart. Nothing can be hidden from God. He sees and understands everything in our hearts. David found this out the hard way when God sent Nathan to expose David’s sins of adultery and murder (2 Samuel 12). David told Solomon to be completely open with God and dedicated to him. It makes no sense to try to hide any thoughts or actions from an all-knowing God. This should cause us joy, not fear, because God knows even the worst about us and loves us anyway.
Follow All Commands of the Lord your God

David told Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:8 to be careful to follow every one of God’s commands to to ensure Israel’s prosperity and the continuation of David’s descendants upon the throne. It was the king’s solemn duty to study and obey God’s laws. The teachings of Scripture are the keys to security, happiness, and justice, but you’ll never discover them unless you search God’s Word. It we ignore God’s will and neglect his teaching, anything we attempt to build, even if it has God’s name on it, will be headed for collapse. Get to know God’s commands through regular Bible study, and find ways to apply them consistently.
