“Then David the king stood upon his feet… I had in my mind
to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord.” (1 Chronicles
28:2)
David was speaking here of building a Temple, but he was not
allowed to do so because he had been a man of war. That is an entire different sermon
about how war and anger and such affect our spirituality, but the subject today
is rest. The Temple is a special place set aside for the Lord where those clean
enough to enter can find rest, but should not our homes be dedicated to the Lord as well. Not in the same way as the Temple, but as much as possible and still be a home. Shouldn't it be a safe place of rest from the outside world.
