David is now king of Israel, and the prophet Nathan tells him of God’s steadfast covenant with David—one of David’s descendants will always be king, and David’s son will be the one to build a temple for the LORD (verses 12-13).

[Nathan delivers the LORD’s message to David:] “I will make your kingdom last forever. Your dynasty will never end.”

Reflect

What is Nathan’s message to David? What promises does God make? Reread verses 14-16. What are your thoughts about how God will act toward David’s successor?

Pray

Almighty and faithful God, I place my trust in you. You alone are worthy of praise, and you surround me each day with your steadfast love and care. I thank and praise you for your daily blessings. Amen.
