READING: 2 Samuel 7; 1 Chronicles 17
TEXTS AND APPLICATION: These chapters deal with David’s desire to build God a temple. Within chapter 7 are these reminders of the grace of God: God reminds David of what He has done, and David can respond only in humility.
7:8 ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from following the sheep to be ruler over My people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone . . .
7:18 Then King David went in, sat in the Lord’s presence, and said, Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?
PRAYER: I just want to praise the Lord today for His grace to use me. The older I get, the more I realize just how unworthy I am — and I want to be maximally used for His glory.
