“And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies; That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; …” – 2 Samuel 7:1-3
David is famous for doing a little bit more. God had blessed him and he was established as king. But he wanted to do a little bit more and build a house for God. This attempt to do a little bit more really touched the Lord.
Realising that God had given him rest, he did not just continue to enjoy the rest but endeavoured to do a little bit more for God. Many ministers become established in the ministry and from then on, live a life of complacency and are happy to do little or nothing to improve their churches. Once they have a house, a car and a congregation, they turn the switch of life off. There seems to be no more work for their idle hands.

Not so with King David! Nathan, the prophet was surprised about the idea that David had come up with. A battle-hardened commander who had seen much bloodshed wanted to build a glorious temple for the worship of God. Who had ever heard of such a thing? When God gave David rest from all the fights he had undertaken for God, he sought to do a little bit more.
Don’t you want to do a little bit more? Can’t you see that great people always want to do a little bit more? The people who love God always want to go an extra mile. God was pleased and impressed. David’s great reward came as a result of this desire to do a little bit more. God promised toestablish his seed after him. This great promise was fulfilled because David attempted to do just a little bit more. Even the desire to do a little bit more was noticed and rewarded.
