SCRIPTURE

"and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver; and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;" — 1 Chronicles 28:16-17 (ASV)

I like to think of David planning all these little things, first receiving instruction from God, then waiting upon God for further direction, and thinking not only about the great golden candelabra, but about the silver candlesticks, and the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups, and the basins. Those who love God love everything that has to do with him; they have a holy concern even for the smaller matters pertaining to the house of the Lord.
