The default mode of human religion is trying to ascend to God and bring his blessings down. But the God of the Bible is a God who descends to us and brings us up after him. The mantra of our hearts is "Achieve, achieve, achieve." The message of the Bible is, "Receive, receive, receive." 2 Samuel 7 shows us how God promised king brings us God's promised presence and turns our default mode of relating to God upside-down.
