Today's Verse - 2 Samuel 7:29 (KJV)

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.

2 Samuel 7:29 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​


God had blessed King David incredibly. God had taken him from a despised little brother and shepherd boy who became a great warrior and Israel's King. David went from an errand boy to a war hero, from a small nowhere town to become the leader of a great empire. David's concern, however, was that God would remain close to him and his descendants, upholding the promises he had made to David. More than any other discovery in his amazing life, David had learned that the future, that every battle, and that any real hope, lies in the presence of the LORD God of Israel with him and his descendants. When God speaks, he keeps his word. When God acts, he redeems, delivers, and brings victories. So, David asked God to do what God longs to do: bless his people and keep his promises. Which reminds us that he can do the same with us!

My Prayer...​


Trustworthy and honorable God, our Father who has sustained and blessed us, thank you for your presence in our lives and your promises for our future. Bring us into your presence with great joy, just as you promised, so that we can dwell in your house forever. In Jesus' name, we pray with anticipation. Amen.
