In today's reading of Tyndale's One-Year Chronological Study Bible with featured content written by the CBT team,

• David sets his heart to build a permanent house for the Lord's dwelling among Israel. God answers David's desire by telling him "no"... but immediately follows it up by grafting David into the most incredible promise in all of Scripture: the Seed of Promise!
• David's powerful song of praise shows us his deep understanding of God's promise – that the Messiah, a King who will rule an everlasting kingdom, will come through David's lineage.
• Also, David does what no leader has done before him since the dark days of the Judges' era: he sincerely asks God to deliver Israel from their enemies and then takes action, and God gives them rest on every side.
• Finally, Psalm 60 records David's heartfelt plea that God bring an end to the sin cycle Israel has been caught in and restore them to victory.
