#92. 2 Samuel 6-7, 1 Chronicles 17, and Psalm 25 and 29 | When God Says "No" To the Purest of Prayers... But Offers a Better "Yes"

As we read my favorite story from the life of David, I'm in awe. I see David at his best, offering the most humble, God-honoring request, and God telling him "no". But the story doesn't stop there, because God offers him something so much better! And it will result in our good as well!Although the main purpose of this story being included in Scripture is that we would understand the Davidic Covenant and how Jesus Christ will reign eternally, I also think we can find such comfort in the fact that when God tells us "no" or shuts doors in our lives, His Word tells us that He's working all things for our good.We didn't have enough time to cover Psalm 29 today, but I encourage you to read it and look for the 7 statements about the voice of the Lord!Today's Reading: 2 Samuel 6-7, 1 Chronicles 17, and Psalm 25 and 29Scripture Read or Referenced: 2 Samuel 6:16, 20-232 Samuel 7 (all)Isaiah 55:8-9Psalm 25:4-5, 8-10, 12-14, 21Could you use some encouragement to follow God in your parenting?
