Daily Devo | Whose House? (David - Day 13, 2 Samuel 7:1-4,8-16)

David notices that he lives in a grand palace while God dwells in a simple tent. David wants to correct the situation by building God an even grander palace, the Temple, but God says, "No." Even so, God chooses this moment to bless David. Because David wanted to build God's house, God will build David's house, promising that one of David's descendants will sit on the throne forever!

For Reflection:

David wanted to build God's house but it is God who will establish David's house, forever!

- Nathan assumed what God wanted but was mistaken. What are some of the ways that you too might make plans without considering what God's priorities might be?

- What might it look like for you to show greater concern for building up God's house rather than your own?

- Is there something that God might be inviting you to do in response to what you see in David's and Nathan's story?
