This section (v18-29) is David’s prayer of thanksgiving, expressing his humble acceptance of God’s promise to extend his dynasty forever.
David realised that these blessings were given to him and his descendants that Israel might benefit from them and would help to fulfil God’s greater promise that through the nation the whole world would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3).
How great is our God? His plan to save us is more than just great, we cannot begin to fathom the greatness of God: The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork (19:1)
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all host of them by the breath of His mouth (PSALM 33:6).
There is no other God like Him; He has no equal nor rival, He is the name above all other names!
He is the King of king, Lord of lords, REVELATION 17:14); He is our heavenly Father, ”For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.“
Isaiah 9:6 NKJV
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (JOHN 14:6).
There is no other person, object, or god that can save you; despite Mary’s holiness and her love for God; despite the fact that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ, she cannot give you eternal life. Nor your pastor or the pope, nor any other religious organisation, nor science or any action or good deed; nor any amount money or status. Only Jesus can save you and all you need to do is confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (ROMANS 10:9).
So often success in this life comes from who you know rather than your personal abilities or qualifications; this is true of your salvation.
Jesus is the coming Judge who will decide your eternal future, and only by knowing and believing on Him can anyone be saved.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
Romans 10:8-13 NKJV
My beloved, if you haven’t already, get to know Jesus. Go in your room, shut the door, and in private, call upon the name of Jesus; ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Start the process of developing a relationship with Him and submit to Him. He loves you and is faithful to save all with a repentant heart. He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
