Gods Promise

This week\u2019s passage is 2 Samuel 7:1-17. The nature of God\u2019s creation vs the nature of man-made things. David\u2019s heart is wanting to make God a temple. God\u2019s kingdom is not defined by buildings, it is so much greater than a temple. \u201cAre you the one to build me a temple?\u201d God sustains and supports us; He doesn\u2019t need us but wants us to be in relationship with Him. God\u2019s blessings are always greater than anything we can bring as an offering. The question God asks David is the question David should have asked God before moving on his intention to build God a temple. David was King of Israel, but building a temple was not for him. Trusting God when we don\u2019t get to do what we want.
