“Place getting to know God before working for him.”

광야 40년 이후, 사사 시대 400년 동안 어느 누구도 하나님의 집을 지어야 한다고 생각한 자가 없었다. 이것을 맨 처음 깨우친 이가 바로 다윗이다. 다윗의 마음을 아신 하나님께서 그에게 아브라함의 언약을 잇는 은총을 약속하신다.
“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: Would you build me a house to dwell in? I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling. In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”‘ Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel. And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house. When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.’”(2 Samuel 7:5-16)
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(Galatians 5:14)
허영과 실리, 그리고 왜곡. 이 사람과 그 무어든 하지 말라. 공(功)은 제게로 과(過)는 남에게 돌린다. 불가피하거든, 말을 적게 하고 약조한 바는 지켜라.
