Today is Wednesday, July 10, 2019, and here is your daily devote. In reading 2 Samuel 7, we are able to see the riches of God's promises, all of which are fulfilled in Christ. What He has promised exceeds anything we could ever ask or imagine. What we might hope for as the greatest fulfillment of the rest God promises pales in comparison to what He intends, and this makes Him worthy of our complete trust and wholehearted obedience.
Furthermore, these promises do not extend to us and then stop. They move beyond us and through us. We are called on and granted the privilege to bear witness about this God and His glorious promises that rest in Christ Jesus. We live in a world filled with restlessness, broken promises, and unmet expectations.
People all around us constantly face the pain and hurt of broken dreams and crush aspirations. They are let down, betrayed, and shunned by this world. Though we have a better story, we have a God who never fails us. We have a king who fulfills his promises and always makes good on his word.
We can trust him and lean on him when it seems like nothing else is certain in this life. May we offer our entire lives to point people to this eternal son and his glorious kingdom and exhort him to enter into the rest only he provides. And may we fix our eyes on the eternal things above so that we do not grow weary as we persevere in this life and hope for the future God has prepared for us.
