In Writing

1 Chronicles 28:19 KJV
All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

We understand that the Word of God was not yet completed in the Old Testament and that God spoke to His people in ways that are no longer employed. However there is in this verse a hint at a truth that is universal so far as how God communicates with His children. David said that the Lord had made him to understand the pattern he was to use in the construction of the Temple, "...in writing by His hand..."

God communicates to us that exact way right now. God communicates to us
in writing
We have the written word of God. He does not communicate through feelings, impressions, or visions. He communicates to us in writing; through His Word, the Bible.

by His handOur Bible is not the work of men's hands but is in fact the very Word of God. He moved upon men that they would write those words they did. Our Bible was not given to us by men who had educated themselves in the moral and religious systems of the world and then delivered to us their expert opinions about divine things. No indeed,
2 Timothy 3:16 KJV
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The Bible is God breathed: every word of it.

And it is from this book we are to find the will of God for our lives and the pattern after which we are to build them.
