How David prayed
2 Samuel 7
David
- Acknowledged there is no one like the Sovereign LORD.
- Acknowledged God redeemed people from slavery to be His people.
- Declared God would make a great Name for Himself.
- Acknowledged God became God to those people.
- Called Himself God's servant.
- Asks God to do what lasts forever - an eternal blessing.
Not just the present generation, but all generations.
In the desert of Judah.
- a wilderness
David calls to the greatest authority.
Acknowledges Him as the one who rules in his life.
Declares he will look no where else.
vs 1
He is concerned for his soul.
David's response
- God's love is completely satisfying.
- Words and raised hands.
- As long as he has breath.
- Exalt God's Holy Name
vs 5
Not strictly emotional and physical needs.
David's Confession
- Reminding himself
- The things of God
- The things God has done
- The characteristics of God.
vs 7
The battle isn't against David, but against God.
David's conclusion
- The King will rejoice in God.
- All who swear to tell the truth will praise Him
- Liars will be silenced.
