Sermon #454
Often in scripture, David is referred to as a man after God's own heart. We see that in today's reading as David expresses a desire to build a temple for God in Jerusalem. His desire is to put down roots for the nation of Israel, to establish the spiritual center of the family of Abraham. Yet God, in a play on words, says through the prophet Nathan that David will not build a house (temple) for God, but God will make David a house (dynasty). Here once more we see our covenant God initiating the blessings by giving His promise to a mere human agent, flaws and all. And it's because of His eternal promises that he never breaks that we can rely upon His promises for us today.
