VERSE:
"Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may
continue forever in your sight; for you, O Sovereign LORD, have
spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be
blessed forever."
-- 2 Samuel 7:29

THOUGHT:
God had blessed King David incredibly -- from a shepherd boy to
King, from an errand boy to a war hero, from a small town to the
leader of a great empire. David's concern, however, was that God
stay close to him and his descendants, and uphold the promises he
had made to David. More than any other discovery in his life of
service, David had learned that the future, that every battle, and
that any real hope lie in the presence of the LORD God of Israel.
When God speaks, he keeps his word. When God acts, he acts to
redeem. So David asked that God do what he longs to do, bless his
people and keep his promises.
PRAYER:
Trustworthy and honorable God, my Father who has sustained me
and blessed me, thank you for your presence in my life and your
promises for my future. Bring me into your presence with great joy,
just as you have promised, so that I can dwell in your house
forever. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
