He gives him patterns, gold and silver, etc but God said to me This phrase indicates direct divine communication, emphasizing the personal relationship between God and David. Throughout the Old Testament, God often communicated His will to leaders and prophets, guiding the course of Israel's history.

Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in His PlansGod has specific purposes and plans that may differ from our desires. David's heart was in the right place, but God's plan was different. The Role of Peace in God's Work Solomon, a man of peace, was chosen to build the temple, highlighting the importance of peace in fulfilling God's purposes. Understanding Our Role in God's Kingdom Like David, we may have roles that prepare the way for others. Recognizing and accepting our part in God's plan is crucial. The Importance of Holiness The temple was to be a holy place for God's Name. Our lives, as temples of the Holy Spirit, should reflect God's holiness. Trusting God's Timing David had to trust God's timing and plan for the temple. We must also trust God's timing in our lives and ministries.(3) But God said unto me.--The emphasis lies on the word God, which is in direct contrast with the "I--in my heart it was," of 1Chronicles 28:2.
