Your Will Be Done (II Samuel .77:25-29) j: WhmtOmlSmy (USmmmd 7:11-2$) '? David had adesire to build a house ? __ for the Lord, Nathan, the prophet, told him to go ahead and build it God spoke to Naihaa and told him to slop :.David from building a bouse for Him. -*.pod bad blessed David with a nice home and he didn't think that God's house ought to be in a tent; but God ,.l?ad other plans. In the first seventeen _ verses we see the establishment of the . Davidic Covenant. God promised to establish the throne of David forever, .mad the promised Messiah would come - through die lineage of David. God promised that David' soo would build Him a house. God warned to be in the ..midst of His people, therefore, until ^ithey were established in a permanent ' place, there was not a need for a house to worship in. God reminds David : where He brought him from, and how He had protected him. Now we see David giving God the praise and glory for what He has done for him. David recognized that he was what be was by the Grace of God, nothing more nor less. David asked the question: "Who am I?" In other words, David realized that he was a ample *ephcrd, a nobody, but God elevated him u> King over Israel We G^hndoua for him God had made David great promises and be was astounded that God would consider him for such greatness, it would seen that David was at a toes for words. He did not &^2r?r8Si5rs to reflect on where Ood brought then from and what they were before God delivered them. God promised us eternal life, pence, joy, happiness, protection, etc when he saved us, all we have to do is claim them. Umw Gremt Year Art (II Samuel 7:21-24) David recognized the greatness of God and that it was so simply because God said it David recognized the deity of God, that there was none like Him nor was there any other God. He acknowledged that God had called the nation Israel to be His people and that He had delivered them, preserved them, and that they were a special people. Not only had God done all that, but He made a promise that they would be His people forever. Now, brethren, think about what God has done for us, even though we are not deserving. We need to take time out of our busy schedules to give God praise for making us what we are. Then like David we can realize how great God is and bow marvelous are His ways. Just as God loves Israel even today. He loves tboee of us who see born ^ A |ftlM J U> ? flJWu w iiXi UK ^mIsO KJVC( MB I1B lu^-' greater promises for us.

TtmWma?Dmt (nSmmmd 7:25-29) David aoosoiad Ood's win iu his lift. God would build Him a loan, sad would astahlwh David's houm forever. David wanted God's will to be done and was willing to be the vessel for God to uae. David refors to himselfssGod'sservant sad I remind us that we an servants, oaBed to serve. When we allow God's wiU to be done in our lives, then others will see the manifestatinri of Christ through our lives. We can claim the promises of God beeed an His will for our lives. God's promises en true and God wiU be what He has promised, if we allow Him to work in our lives. To know God's wUl ia our life and the promises He has for us requires something on our port We need to study God's ward and pray to find God's will for us. When we know God's will then we must do our pert to see that it is carried out. God will do His part. Remember we are servants called to service now for the coming long, Jesus Christ If you are aot a servant, God is calling you now. Accept His call now. God bless you until next week.
