"I have been with you wherever you went" (Samuel 7:9) King David wished to build a magnificent temple for the Lord, to house the tabernacle for all to worship. The Lord asked the prophet Nathan to tell King David not to worry about building a temple, for the Lord had His own plans. The first priority for King David should be to lead the people of Israel to become the people of God. In fact, the temple was not completed until Solomon became King. God's plans are beyond the contemplation of man. Since God is the ruler of human history, He is not limited to the physical. Once a woman of Samaria asked Jesus, should one worship the Lord in the temple of Jerusalem or in the temple of Samaria? Jesus replied, "Man will not be in the temple of Jerusalem, not will he be in the temple of Samaria worshiping the Lord - he will worship the Lord in truth and in spirit." The church that Jesus built is based on mankind, with Peter as the foundation. Wherever the apostles of Jesus go, they are a witness to Christ by their love. "I have been with you wherever you went". This phrase was not only directed at King David, it is also directed at the apostles, and to each one of us.
