On page 87 in our Chase study Jennie Allen writes,
"The enormous promise of an eternal kingdom that God makes to David is a beautiful promise and we get to be a part of it through Christ. We are blessed to be on this side of the cross, looking back on the redeeming work of Christ rather than waiting in expectation of it. The hope of the world has always been and always will be Jesus Christ."
God made a covenant with David in 2 Samuel 7: 1-17 that his kingdom would be eternal. As I try to put myself in David's shoes, I just cannot imagine how I'd respond to that news...
"And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever" (verse 16)
Starting in verse 18 we get to see into the heart of a humble, servant-king as David responds to God and shows his belief in the promises unseen. Take a few minutes to read through 2 Samuel 7 to see how God points to a coming Christ, an eternal kingdom, and how David's belief shines through his response to God.
This week in Mothers Together we're going to be looking at several Bible verses that reinforce this mighty act of belief. Here is this week's handout on our Belief teaching by Frann Wohlers. I am praying God brings about a stronger faith in you to truly believe His promises are for you, His daughter.
