It took me 20 minutes to read this passage. Chapter 17 is full of lots of information that leaves me with a question; why didn’t God respond directly to David? But it is so encouraging to see that David was not deterred by God’s words spoken through a “middle-man”. David listened to the heart of the message to realized what was happening. God had promised to respond to David in an eternal way because David had been faithful to worship God alone. David understood that what he was only what God expected, and shouldn’t have received such a lavish reward, but that is how God works. When we give him all that we can, he heaps on us promises of untold value and filled with words of hope.
