—2 Samuel 7:18-29
by: Jasmine Lynch.
David had just been rebuked by the prophet Nathan—a rebuke that was tempered by a promise that no one else had ever received: “Your house and your kingdom shall be established forever” (v.16, NKJV). Wow! What a prophetic promise! David reflected on where he was coming from and when he absorbed what the future held, he asked, “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that you have brought me this far?” (v.18, NKJV). Have you stopped to reflect on how far God has brought you? How does your reaction compare with David’s? Do you say, like David, “You are Great, O Lord God”?
