Today's treasure: 2 Samuel 7:22
Read 2 Samuel 7: 18-29
Moments like those represent an indescribable intimacy in your relationship with God. You want to go and sit before the Lord.
So intimate were the words God spoke to him through Nathan that he left the messenger's presence and went straight to the One who sent the message.
We each have countless opportunities to be overwhelmed at the goodness of God. Praise Him for how far you've come! Entrust the rest of the journey to the One who brought you this far.
How like God to keep giving and giving. David was stunned by God's words of prophecy over his family.
At times our praises are planned. At times our praises, though unplanned, are as quiet in our spirits as a whisper. At other times we want to shout the praises .
Over two thousand years ago a group of disciples were compelled to praise Christ. How did Christ respond to the Pharisees in Luke 19:40?
Every now and then we enjoy a moment void of doubt and full of mystery, when we're overwhelmed with humility yet stunned with possibility. Nothing is quite like realizing that nothing is like HIM.
According to 1 Peter 2:9, we are also a peculiar people on purpose and for a purpose, have you ever felt 'peculiar' because of who you are in Christ?
Our human nature is self serving and ambitious. God desires to purify all other motives of ambition in us except the ambition that God would use us to draw attention to Himself and His great name.
David referred to his petition for God to establish his house forever. He would never have presumed to pray this prayer without first knowing God's will.
In Psalm 106:12, David possibly "believed his promises" then "sang his praise". After all, David was accustomed to singing God's praises.
God doesn't care if we have perfect pitch or none at all, just sing whatever is brought to mind. Amen on that!!!
