Love God Greatly: DavidSample

SOAP: 2 Samuel 7:16

David’s kingdom agenda was established by God, not his own ambition. He desired to build a temple for God, but God’s purpose for David was grander in scope than his limited understanding. God promised to preserve David’s position of leadership and create an enduring legacy through his throne that would lead to the Messiah.

When God says no to our earthly dreams, we must keep moving forward in faith trusting that He has a greater eternal purpose in mind. God always surprises us by doing more than we can ask, think, or imagine. One day, Christ will return to earth and crown us with glory.

Lord, help us to trust that You have a bigger design for our future when our current circumstances are somewhat disappointing. May we surrender our plans and agendas to You. Help us to stay faithful and not give in to discouragement because greater things are yet to come. Amen.
