Text: 2 Samuel 7:18-29
David wants to build the LORD a house. But the LORD says no and David accepts God’s answer. Notice verse 29 particularly.
It’s because the LORD knows his people (vss 18-20)
- Part of faith is trusting that God knows what He’s doing when it runs contrary to what you think should be done.
- Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
- Maybe you have experience in an area, but the word of God says that’s not right.
- Maybe your emotions are telling you something contrary to what God said.
- Because of incomplete information – “I don’t understand”
- What made you think the LORD didn’t know what He was doing?
It’s for greater revelation of God (vss 21-22)
Remember His goodness (vss 23-24)
Build a case for the LORD instead of against Him (vss 25-27)
- Build a case for the LORD for your sake.
- Think on these things…
Lesser “No” for a greater “Yes” (vss 28-29)
