‘“And now, O Lord God , You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant. ‘
II Samuel 7:28
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
His words.
Are.
True.
And.
Whatever.
He promises.
Will.
Happen.
If.
I keep.
My faith!
And.
Obey.
His will!
The above.
Verse.
Are.
The words.
Of.
King David.
As.
He sat.
In.
The presence.
Of.
God.
And.
Prayed.
‘Then King David went in and sat before the Lord ; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God ? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? ‘
II Samuel 7:18
David.
Was.
Thanking.
The Lord.
For.
How far.
He’s brought.
Him.
And.
David.
Wanted.
To.
Remove.
The Ark.
Of.
God.
From.
It’s place.
In.
The tent.
And.
Build.
A house.
For.
It.
However.
God.
Revealed.
Through.
Nathan.
That.
The Lord.
Will.
Build.
A house.
For.
Himself.
Where.
The Ark.
Will.
Dwell.
Through.
David’s seed.
‘“When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ‘
II Samuel 7:12-13
As.
David.
Prayed.
What.
Convicted.
My heart.
Was.
How.
David.
Knew.
What.
His purpose.
Was.
And.
He knew.
His first.
Responsibility.
Was.
To be.
A servant.
Of.
The Lord.
‘Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God , know Your servant. For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them. ‘
II Samuel 7:20-21
This morning.
The lesson.
I learned.
From.
David’s prayer.
Was.
To.
Yield.
To.
God’s will.
And.
Obey.
Every command.
He reveals.
To me.
Because.
Through.
My obedience.
I will.
Receive.
The Lord’s.
Promises.
And.
Be blessed.
Forever!
‘Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord God , have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”’
II Samuel 7:29
The Lord.
Wants.
Us.
To win.
But.
We must.
Be doers.
Of.
The word.
‘But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ‘
James 1:22
And.
Execute.
His will!
I pray.
That you.
Stop.
Forcing.
Your will.
And.
Surrender.
To.
The will.
Of.
God!
Because.
His will.
Exceeds.
Anything.
That you.
Can.
Think of!
I love you!
And.
I pray that your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
