17:7-15
God then reminds David what He has done for him, taking him from obscurity ruling over His people. A fundamental aspect of the gospel is that God does far more for us than we can ever do for him. God had been with David and would now make David’s name one of the greatest names on earth. God would provide a secure home for His people. He would also subdue their enemies. The Lord would build a house for David. He would look after David’s descendants. One of David’s descendants would be over His house and his kingdom. This is looking forward to Jesus, and, in the short term, to Solomon.
17:16-27
David accepts the word and praises the Lord. God is far greater than we ever imagine, and loves us more than we ever dream of.
