After yesterday’s lengthy entry, I’ll make today’s short. I need some help from you.
David is bowled over by God’s magnanimous, far-reaching promise to him. God had promised that David’s throne will endure forever. Blown away by God’s grace and goodness to him, David asks God a question: “Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD ?” (verse 19).
The text does not provide a direct answer. It’s one of those rhetorical questions where you feel like the answer should be obvious, but once you start thinking about it you begin to wonder.
What do you think the answer to David’s question is? Is this God’s usual way of dealing with man? Is this “business as usual”? I want to know what you think.

In “grace and goodness,” as you say? Yes! Our gracious God “deals with everyone this way.”And add to that justice, mercy, love, and forgiveness. Thank God, this is the way he deals with all of us.
I’m still waiting for my dynasty and kingdom, though. Is that included?
