* This verse shows us what divine 20:20 vision looks like - faith.
* What pleases God most is our FAITH.
* When we fully trust God to be faithful when everything and everyone is saying He won’t.
* When we have faith God will come through.
* It may not be what we want it to look like, but He’ll come through.
* God told these people He would take over the fight if they would just go and face the army.
* Now were they going to believe Him and put their trust in Him or not?
* They did, and they showed that boldness precedes the miraculous.
* The most bold thing we can do is cling to our faith.

* Solomon offered 1,000 burnt offerings on the altar when he was inaugurated as king. * There was no command to do this and was WAY more than customary. * This is like giving hundreds of thousands of dollars away. * He spared no expense for God. * How did God respond? * He decided to give Solomon something in return - a chance to ask for “anything” he wanted. * Solomon gave to God what was already God’s (the animals) and so God gave Solomon something he didn’t have - wisdom. * Key - give God what you have and then you can expect him to give back to you a hundredfold return. * Solomon’s wisdom was far more valuable than 1,000 animals.

God gave David the pattern of the temple but didn't let him execute the building of it. David then gave it to Solomon his son who executed it with precision. This is the pattern of Fatherhood for us to follow today: 1) God gives dad a pattern for His kingdom. 2) Dad models this and builds to the best of his ability, recognizing his work will not be completed before he dies. 3) Dad passes down this pattern to his son. 4) Son executes the plan exactly as dad passed down, which dad got directly from God. 5) Son then becomes a dad and does the same thing.
