After Abraham’s family became a great nation, it also became a kingdom, and no one ever equalled the greatness of King David. Even so, in 2 Samuel 7:1-17, God announced to David that he had even greater plans for his offspring. Those plans were so great that even today we are seeing only part of their realization. However, we often miss out on what God is doing, because we are looking for him to do something much smaller than what he is actually doing.
As David’s covenant with David held firm through difficult times, so God’s covenant with us keeps us throughout our lives.
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
While David used desperate and even deceptive means of escape, God provided for him because of his grace and faithfulness.
