had given bun rest from all his enemies round about v ik had proposed to build a houe or the ark of god nathan the propnet had taken it for granted without con sulting god that davids proposition to build a house for god would be ac ceptable unto him 3 it is wry easy for even godly men to make mis- lakes but god set nathan right the same night v 4 in the first in- stance nathan had spoken out of his own judgment but now the word of the lord came to him v 4 but while jehovah refused to let david build a house for him he on his part promised to build a house for david tv 11 and further promised that davids son should have the priv ilege of building a house for jehovah vs 12 13k jehovahs goodness to david would not end with his depart ure from the world he should sleep with hu fathers v 12k but hu seed that should proceed from him should follow him upon the throne v 12k the immediate and partial fulfil ment of this promise was in solomon i kings 8 20 5 5 1 chron 22 b 10 28 6lok but the final and com plete fulfillment is in jesus christ pa 89 29 isa 0 6 7 11 13 matt 22- 4244 ac 2 30k it was these wonderful promises of god that led david to go in and sit before jehovah tv 18k there was no irreverence in his sitting instead of kneeling or standing he sat there in contemplat ion of the wonderful goodness of je hovah and in respectful gratitude praise prayer and worship one may he just as reverent in silting if he really sits before jehovah as in kneeling the holy spirit came upon the apostle on the day of pentecost taot while they were kneeling but whllo they were sitting as 2 2k note davids humility gods wonder ful goodness to him did not exalt him in his own heart but hummed him and made him cry who urn i o jehovah and what is my house that thou hast brought me thus far well may we all ask when we contemplate gods wonderful goodness toward us i who am 1 isa 6 1 5 job 42 56 while david rejoiced in what god had done for him thus far this ho uny to be a small thing in com parison with what jehovah hod just promised to do for him spoken also of thy servants house for a great while to come humility was one of the most prominent characteristics of david ct 1 sam 18 18 it is the man who humbles himself for whom god exalts luke 14 ilk david felt that words failed to express his grati tude to god and could only say thou knowest thy servant david recognized that all that jehovah had done he hod done for his words sake i e out of regard for his prom ise which god always fuhllhi all that god does for iu ho does for his words sake especially for the soke of the incarnate word jettus christ our lord jno 1 14 it was furthermore according to gods own heart i v because of hlu own sover- elgn grace and not because of any merit in david that jehovah had done all these great things and he had done them in order to moke david know them god in his great love wishes hu goodness to be known to us all of this was simply a mani festation of the incomparable and in unite goodness of god and caused david to exclaim there is none like thee neither u there any god besides thee according to all that wo have heard with our ears v 22k ii jehovahs gracious goodness to israel 2329 here david turn from gods good ness to him to hi goodnebs to his people israol he had dealt so grac iously with israel that there was no other nntlun on earth like them this is true of israel to this du in spite of all their unfaithfulness to god and they have a future such as awaits no other nation david summarizes the wonderful way in which god had re deemed them from egypt in a few but remarkubly significant words he recalls the great things and terrible thnlgodhad done in their history when he redeemed them out of egypt from the nations and thelr gods puthermore he had establish ed to himself israel to be a people unto him for ever and became their god david turns from a contem plation of gods mercies to himself and to israel in the past to a prayer that god will confirm forever the word that thou hast spoken concern- ins thy servant and do as thou hast spoken god always does as he has spoken but it is well for us to plead his conuse nothing magni fies god today as the keeping of his word and god is wonderfully fulfill ins today the promlsea he made cen turies ago and cod ml in due time 1 establish israel to be a people for ottawa cp canadas prairie
