Day 147: 1 Chronicles 26-29, Psalm 127

There is so much structure and organization among the Israelites.  I wonder if this was similar to other people groups or if it was unique.

I'm sure there was a part of David that wanted to be the one to build God's house.  But he confidently handed off the job to Solomon, with some detailed instructions and some strong encouragement.  He also endorsed Solomon to the people so that they would respect and follow.  Passing the torch is a good thing.

I am so impressed with the generosity of the people as they prepare to build.  

I can imagine Psalm 127 being written by Solomon right after he takes over since he is speaking about building, both a "house" and a family.
