David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: don`t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh is finished.

From Plan to Action

Commentators emphasize that David adds the command "and do it" to his charge of courage. Charles Spurgeon notes this is a call to move beyond merely admiring God's plans and to actively execute them. The time for planning was over, and the time for courageous action had arrived. God's call is not just to dream, but to build.
