2 Samuel 7 is a significant chapter in the storyline of the Bible. David now lives in a nice house. Meanwhile, the Ark of the Covenant, where God dwells, is in a tent. David proposes to build a Temple; the prophet Nathan seconds his motion. However, God vetoes the project. It's His house, and He gets to decide. He has His purposes and His timing - He choose a tent so show His desire to walk with His people. The stunning goodness of God's plans and purposes comes shining through: He is going to build David a house - a dynasty; that will last forever. From this will come the Word made flesh, Who 'tented' among us, that through His life, death, and resurrection He might indwell His people - walking with them through every valley and trial. This chapter displays the stunning goodness of God; and implores us to come to God, in the Son, and to live in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, and be led by the Spirit.
