Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 7:18-29
18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.
21 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
Question for Meditation
Q.2 – Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
David, overwhelmed with God’s promises, humbly came and sat before God. He praised and thanked God for His greatness and goodness in response to His gracious promises through Prophet Nathan. David expressed humility by asking rhetorical questions, such as “Who am I…and what is my house?”. He also referred to himself as, “Your servant.”
His humility may be a result of realizing his humble background and how God had brought him to a moment of peace, greatness, and glory. He thank God for His favour in the present and for the past actions, such as, the deliverance from Egypt, the conquest of Canaan, and future promises (vs.18-24).
Unlike David, many of us are filled with pride because of our privileged positions and possessions as if we attained them through our merit or by our power. David thankfully accepted God’s promises to him, and earnestly prayed for their fulfillment. His trust in God gave him the courage to pray (vs.25-29).
So what? Let us humbly remember our past background and acknowledge the grace of God for who, where, and what we are while trusting Him for more blessings.
