(I Chron. 29.9)
Perhaps we can truly say that this was the happiest day in the life of David, and indeed in that heart of the whole nation. The joy of the Lord was their strength. Who among you are willing now to offer yourselves for the battle and for the service of God? --- Not for an earthly so-called church, but for the Heavenly Church, His body?.
Now please listen to His words as He stands before you holding out His nail-pierced hands and pleading: “ And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?” (I Chron 29.5). This was what made David truly rejoice if you come and give Him freely and willingly your life, your money, your talents, to be used in this great and heavenly building?
Then only you will know the fullness of the joy of the Lord, which is your strength. This indeed is true joy, and it will bring joy to the whole church too.
