What Does 1 Chronicles 21:28 Mean?
David recognizes what has happened. Because the Lord answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan, he sacrifices there from that time on. The place of mercy becomes a place of ongoing worship.
David reads the fire from heaven rightly: this is where God has chosen to meet His people. So he keeps returning to offer sacrifice. When the Lord answers us in a particular place or way, the faithful response is to keep coming back to Him there. The spot where grace was shown becomes a settled ground of devotion, the seed of the temple to come.
