Trusting the Driver

2 Samuel 7:23-29

²³ And who can compare to your people Israel? They are the one nation on earth that God redeemed as his own people, establishing his name by doing great and awesome things for them, by driving out nations and their gods before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt. ²⁴ You established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, LORD, became their God. ²⁵ Now, LORD God, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do just as you have promised ²⁶ so that your name will be great forever when people say, “The LORD of heavenly forces is Israel’s God!” May your servant David’s household be established before you, ²⁷ because you, LORD of heavenly forces, Israel’s God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a dynasty for him. That is why your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you. ²⁸ LORD God, you are truly God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. ²⁹ So now willingly bless your servant’s dynasty so that it might continue forever before you, because you, LORD God, have promised. Let your servant’s dynasty be blessed forever by your blessing.
