His Kingdom Surely Comes

What is good to do in YHWH's sight? 1Chronicles 19–20 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these twenty-seven verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that it is good in YHWH's sight to establish and complete the kingdom of Christ. The devotional examines 1 Chronicles 19 and 20 to illustrate how God's providence advances the kingdom of Jesus Christ even amidst human betrayal, sin, and overwhelming odds. It highlights Joab's strategic reliance on divine will rather than military strength, showing that Yahweh does what is good in His sight by subduing enemies for His anointed King. The text contrasts David's historical failures with the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise in Christ, encouraging believers to remain faithful despite mischaracterization and internal church strife. Listeners are urged to serve with wisdom, diligence, and courage, trusting that God is building His church against the gates of hell. The message concludes with a call to reject discouragement and rest in the certainty of Christ's eternal reign.
