In this message we look at [esvignore]2 Samuel 7:1-17[/esvignore]. This is typically considered the “Davidic Covenant” and is a very important passage in the history of God’s redemption of sinners. We will not go very deep into the theological-covenantal themes, but rather will remain in the immediate historical and application level of the text because there is plenty of good immediate application for us there. We will look at how to think about our prosperity and peace. It is ironic that God has shown how feeble we all are in the face of His creation with this past week’s historic flooding, so perhaps there will be a more receptive mood in us all as we witness calamity all around that jolted us from a season of relative peace. Our outline will have four high level sections. They are:
- David’s Condition
- David’s Good Desire
- God’s Humility
- Our Blessings and What To Do With Them
