Pslam 132:1 LORD, remember David and all his afflictions.
David went through many afflictions in his life. He suffered the loss of a child, a violent son, a jealous king, a captured wife, a best friend dying in battle, etc. He also sacrificed to build a dwelling place for God.
Indeed, I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD” (1 Chron 22:14).
The Son of David also endured afflictions to build us up as a dwelling place for God.
“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted” (Is 53:4).
“In whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit” (Eph 2:21-22).
David modeled extreme devotion to the house of God. He says in this psalm....
"I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Be encouraged to give your whole heart in pursuing the presence of God!
