[King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:] "How great you are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears."
The promises of God to Abraham and David, the work of God through Jesus, and the miraculous preservation of both the Abrahamic and Davidic lines to Jesus are nothing short of miraculous. They are testimony to God's faithfulness and power. When we get discouraged by the unfaithfulness, blasphemy, and wickedness prevalent in our world today, we need to remember our God's faithfulness and tremendous power displayed through his chosen people. God's promises will not fail no matter what people do and refuse to do. God will use a faithful remnant of his people to fulfill his promises and plans! And the story of Jesus, going back to David and Abraham, confirms that truth!
My Prayer...
Father of all and Provider and Protector of your people, please give me a sense of courageous awe at your power and a sense of reverential wonder at your faithfulness. There is no other being or power like you, for you alone are God. I praise you for your glory and grace. In Jesus' name. Amen.
"Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table...."
"[Paul, continuing his address to the council of the city of Athens:] "God overlooked people's ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now...."
"But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this..."
"Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man..."
