[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...
