“Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and prayed, “Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And now, Sovereign LORD, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign LORD? “What more can I say to you? You know what your servant is really like, Sovereign LORD. Because of your promise and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known to your servant. “How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you. We have never even heard of another God like you!”
2 Samuel 7:18-22 NLT
““Now go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I took you from tending sheep in the pasture and selected you to be the leader of my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before your eyes. Now I will make your name as famous as anyone who has ever lived on the earth!” 1 Chronicles 17:7-8 NLT
O: Who is David that God would bless him and appoint his offspring as the one to build his house? We have seen the importance of the Old Testament fathers bless there first born sons and here is God blessing David's. He will be strong, build my house, his royalty will be secure, God sets himself as father and David's offspring as his son. I will discipline with the rod and my favor will be over him forever. Due to who David was and his relationship with God, God blessed his son. When we see David's son we see God did fulfill his promise. God, do what you have promised!!!! David doesn't get caught up with not being the one to build Gods temple, he worships God for continuing his dynasty. When we look at the genealogy of the King of kings and lord of lords who does it pass through, David!!!! Sauls name has been forgotten, but we still carry on the name of David until this day. Even the apostle Paul name was changed from Saul. Gods like oh no, you're about to do damage for my kingdom, we need to change your name! David prayed to Lord who am I, that you would be so gracious and extend my dynasty for generations. You have brought my family this far. From living in the caves hidding to the city of David! From being hidden from taken my rightful place as King to continuing my dynasty, God, do what you have promised. Even in David's sins, God lifts him up because of who God is, because of his promise according to his will. David's heart after God was stronger than his sins. David fulfilled his calling and God fulfilled his promise. God selected David out of Sheperding to lead his people. David has a shepherds heart and a man after Gods own heart. Therfore leading as a Sheperded is Gods heart. God was with David every where David went. David watched as God defeated his enemies, David his 10,000 they sung. All by the grace of God, and therefore the name of David has been known around the world.
A: Wow, what an observation and what an application to my life. Following God, trusting in his promise and doing what he has called me to be sets my legacy up to be a continued dynasty. My children will be blessed because of who I am in God. That's his promise for hose who love him. My last is what it is and those lies are no longer my reality. I live amongst the creator and he has called me out beyond the shore into the waves. I don't know what is to come after I am gone, but as it has to do with me, I will live in worship to God and at peace with everyone. God has not brought me this far in his grave to turn around and condemn me for what he has forgiven me. He looks past faults and promises me a continued dynasty! I lived in hidding of my calling my entire life by having selective Mutisim. I am still afraid today sometimes to speak up for myself but God has put the less in my mouth before I was in my mothers womb and has appointed me to speak out to nations that they will know there voice and know there worth through him. The call in my life is greater than mynahs and greater than my image. Although I am acceptable, valuable, forgivable and capable in Gods eyes does not mean I am less within my own eyes. I accept I have a weight problem and accept my weight does not define me. I am Gods chosen, he values me and forgives me for being overweight and therfore I am capable of losing the weight. Losing the weight sets me up for a blessing from God that I can not have by being held up. When I fulfill my calling by being my trueself in mind and in body, it gives room for God to fulfill his promises. His promises also for Kamea. As I learn to shepherd her heart and discipline with the rod I also learn to lead with a shepherds heart! It is all by your grace!!!!
P: God, may your inheritance be past done to my children. You give my firstborn the blessing and do what you have promised! You have liked past my faults Heavenly Father, do what you have promised! Am I looking at this all working. If I work Kamea can go to daycare and get the development she needs. It's not about what it cost, it's about what I gain! May I trust you in guiding me to what I need to do for my health. It is time!!!! I am a woman after your heart and you are with me wherever I go. I have seen you take down my enemies and what you triumph after those who have messed with your anointed. Have mercy oh God.
And continue your grace over me as you make my name great. I just need you to make me famous as I live to make you famous. For it is by knowing you that you will be made known through me. You are amazing God. I pray this all in the faithful name of Jesus, amen.
