—1 Chronicles 17:7b-10
by: Angie Osborn.
David wanted to build a home for the Ark of the Covenant which represented God’s presence. God turned it around and instead told David of how He planned to build David’s house. He began by reminding David what He had already done in his life. He went on to tell David that under his reign, Israel would be permanently and securely established. God also promised to establish a dynasty for the house of David—an ongoing legacy for David long after his death; including a direct link to Jesus, God’s Son. Through God’s greater plan, David’s house would make a way for all who accepted Christ to be in right relationship with God again.
