Some Thoughts on God's Faithfulness
In the second book of Samuel, chapter 7, the people had firmly established David as king in Jerusalem, and he built himself a very nice home. But then he felt some conviction:
“Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent” (2 Samuel 7:2).
He wanted to build a house for God. David’s desire pleased God, who responded with this promise:
“The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you” (2 Samuel 7:11).
Sadly, things didn’t turn out the way David thought they would. In 586 B.C., the Babylonians destroyed the city of Jerusalem, blinded the king—David’s distant son—and took him back to Babylon. This appeared to be the end of David’s dynasty and was a terrible shock to everyone who had believed God’s promise.
Centuries later, however, Mary gave birth to Jesus, the son of David (Matthew 1:1). The angel said to Mary, “The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David...his kingdom will never end” (Luke 1:31-33). So when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the people shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David" (Matthew 21:9), and "Blessed is the king of Israel!" (John 12:13). God was fulfilling His promise to David.
David wanted to build a physical house for God, but God would build David an everlasting household. What God’s people didn't know and couldn't understand was that David’s messianic Son had been ruling from heaven’s throne since before the beginning of time. From a human perspective, the collapse of David’s dynasty was a theological disaster. But from heaven’s perspective, this was no problem at all. David’s Son was the eternal king of heaven and earth—He just hadn’t been born yet.
The promises of God find their ultimate fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). God gave David an everlasting dynasty through his great-great-grandson, Jesus Christ. And when Jesus returns, His kingdom will surpass David’s kingdom in every possible way, and it will never end. God always keeps His promises, even when they seem to fail.
Trust in God’s faithfulness, my friends!
