“I’ve done my best to get everything together for building this house for my God, all the materials necessary: gold, silver, bronze, iron, lumber, precious and varicoloured stones, and building stones—vast stockpiles. Furthermore, because my heart is in this, in addition to and beyond what I have gathered, I’m turning over my personal fortune of gold and silver for making this place of worship for my God: 3,000 talents (about 113 tons) of gold—all from Ophir, the best—and 7,000 talents (214 tons) of silver for covering the walls of the buildings, and for the gold and silver work by craftsmen and artisans.” (1 Chronicles 29:2-4)

Jesus told us: “A good man produces good deeds from a good heart…” (Luke 6:45). A good heart makes good deeds. David said “because my heart is in this…” David went over and beyond. He had gathered gold, silver, bronze, iron, lumber and the likes, yet from his own treasury, he brought the best gold (from Ophir) and silver. He gave no bronze or iron from his treasury.

We do our best towards anything that is a treasure in our heart. God demonstrated this when we gave us Jesus. “He did not spare even His own Son for us but gave Him up for us all” (Romans 8:32). God’s heart is in it for us! About this, Ephesians 3:20 says: “God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us.”

Father, teach me to have Your kind of heart that possesses the right and best treasures within.
