David Was Amazing
After I open the blinds and light up the main room in the office, I head over to the "Interns office" (which has been empty the last few months). We have two network computers in here.
Has God ever told you "No?"
How did you respond?
Like anyone, I sure like to get my way.
In 2 Samuel 7, King David was finally at rest from his enemies. He told his prophet that he wanted to build a "house" for the Lord (a temple). When Nathan inquired of the Lord, He basically gave him a "No" answer, along with a promise about the future.
And how did David respond? He prayed a great prayer of thanksgiving, expressing awe and gratitude over the Lord's goodness.
That is a cool response to an unwanted answer.
