Today's Scripture *June 13, 2008*
2 Samuel 7:13-14
He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he sins, I will correct and discipline him with the rod, like any father would do.
David's request to build the Temple was good, but God said no.
This does not mean that God rejected David. In fact, God was planning to do even greater in David's life than allowing him the prestige of building the Temple. Although God turned down David's request, He promised to continue the house (or dynasty) of David forever. David's earthly dynasty ended four centuries later, but Jesus Christ, a direct descendant of David, was the ultimate fulfillment of this promise. (Acts 2: 22-36)
Christ will reign for eternity - now in His Spiritual Kingdom and in heaven, and later, on earth, in the New Jerusalem (Luke 1:30-33 “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” ; Revelation 21)
Have you prayed with good intentions, only to have God say no ? This is God's way of directing you to a greater purpose in your life. Accepting God's no requires as great a faith as carrying out His yes!
God, help us to accept Your yes's and Your no's. May we see that Your wisdom in answering us is far more clear then our own human understanding.
Father, we trust in You and in Your will and desire for us. May we accept with faith You answer to all our prayers and requests, In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you this weekend friends!
