Covenant - With David

"And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised, so that Your name will be magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You." 2 Samuel 7:25-26

This will be the next covenant* made by God with a man. He made this one with a man after His own heart.

This man was David, the least among his brothers. He was the young shepherd boy, the song writer, the musician, the worshipper, before he became the warrior king.

God (in 2 Samuel 7:12-16) promised King David that one of his descendants will build His temple. And that his kingdom will last forever.

This (pledge/agreement) was fulfilled in David's son, Solomon. And the eternal kingdom was fulfilled down the line, when Jesus of Nazareth was born. Jesus as written in Scriptures, can trace His lineage back to the house of David.

And like David, we too, those who believe and who have been grafted into this eternal family through Jesus, can ask and pray:

“Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far? And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your custom with man, O Lord GOD? What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD. For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.

How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears " 2 Samuel 7:18-22

The next covenant? With the Son of God -- the Word of God made flesh, the fulfillment of all these covenants.
