—2 Samuel 7:18-22
by: Angie Osborn.
God made a covenant with David—one filled with promises. David could have had a prideful response. The God of the universe was giving him an amazing gift. David’s response, however, was humble. He recognized the God’s gifts were not a reflection of David’s greatness, but a reflection of God’s greatness. God gives us many gifts in life. The most amazing gift is that of His Son, Jesus. Through Him, we have salvation and the promise of eternal life with the Heavenly Father. Our response should be like David’s, one of humility and thankfulness, recognizing that the gifts we receive are a reflection of God’s greatness.
