God's Promise to David Truth
Trusting in God Promises Story
Let's get right down to Daily Bread business, shall we? When the Lord
gave David rest from all of his enemies, he said to Nathan, the
prophet, "Look, here I am living in a beautiful house of cedar, but
the ark of the Lord is out in a tent!" And Nathan, knowing that the
Lord was with David since everything was going his way, encouraged
him to follow his heart.
That same night the Lord spoke to Nathan with a message for David.
saying, Why do you want to build me a house to live in? I've gone
from tent to tent ever since the time I brought the children of
Israel out of Egypt.
Have I ever complained that someone hasn't built me a house of cedar?
I took you from tending sheep to be ruler over my people Israel. I
was with you wherever you went, I've destroyed all your enemies and
made your name famous.
God's Promise to David Revealed
Trusting in God Promises Always
I will make for my people a permanent place of their own, and their
enemies won't afflict them anymore like before and since the time I
appointed judges over Israel. I will establish your family.
Notice how God is using Nathan, to speak to David. The Lord could
have just spoke to David himself, but He chose not to. Perhaps he
wanted to assure that Nathan was a witness.
Prophecy ... It still happens today. God may use several different
ways to speak to us ... Through other people, circumstances, angels,
miracles, visions, dreams, the Bible, or through the Holy
Spirit. God isn't limited in the vast amount of ways He can
communicate a message to us.

God's message to people. Are there still prophets used today?

God's Promise to David Revealed
Trusting in God Promises Always
The Lord continued his message to David through Nathan, saying "When
you die, your son will be your heir, and I will establish his
kingdom. He will build a temple for me, and I will establish the
throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he shall be
my son. If he sins, I will correct him, but my love and mercy will
never leave him as I took it from Saul. Your house and your kingdom
shall be established for ever before you."
Great Scott ... What a promise!!! Not only will David's son build an
earthly temple of the Lord, but the throne of David will continue on
through his posterity for ever!
David went into the tabernacle and sat before the Lord, whose
presence resides between the cherubim of the mercy seat, and thanked
the Lord with all of his heart for the immeasurable blessing that had
just been bestowed upon him.
