—1 Chronicles 17:23-27
by: Linda Harris.
After humility and praise, David settled into acceptance. This passage brought to my mind Mary’s response when Gabriel told her she would give birth to the Messiah. Elizabeth said of Mary, “Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished” (Luke 1:45, NIV)! Both David and Mary received news that seemed beyond belief.
When God reveals a plan to you that is not quite what you expected, how do you respond?
