2 Samuel 7:29 New International Version (NIV)
29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant,
that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have
spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed
forever.”
God had blessed King David incredibly — from a shepherd boy
to King, from an errand boy to a war hero, from a small town to the leader of a
great empire. David's concern, however, was that God stay close to him and his
descendants, and uphold the promises he had made to David. More than any other
discovery in his life of service, David had learned that the future, that every
battle, and that any real hope lie in the presence of the LORD God of Israel.
When God speaks, he keeps his word. When God acts, he acts to redeem. So David
asked that God do what he longs to do, bless his people and keep his promises.
Thought for today:
Are my prayers offered knowing and trusting God will bless?
