God continued to give David exactly what he promised to give him, and David continued to credit God with those blessings. The people may have been in rebellion from God, but they knew that David was pursuing him with all of his heart. When David prayed to build a temple for God’s name Nathan returned God’s message of refusal. But David was not dissuaded from seeing God at work. As he bowed before the tent of meeting he called out to God about his greatness and then in 7:21 David saw a greater purpose in God work; “you have done all these great things in order to instruct me.” What was the lesson that David saw God teaching? Was it about God’s faithfulness? Was the lesson on trust for the long haul? Did David need to learn that God moves slowly and not at our speed? Was God seeking to teach all of Israel that we need to be faithful without expecting to see the fulfillment of God’s plans?
