1 Kings 8:18

But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
