God's Covenant with David (2 Samuel 7)

The Wisdom Journey with Stephen Davey

What happens when God says no to your plans? David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, but instead, God promised him something far greater—a house, a kingdom, and a throne that would last forever. This covenant, known as the Davidic covenant, is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the coming King. But how did David respond when God denied his request? Instead of complaining, he worshiped. Instead of resisting, he surrendered. Instead of dwelling on what he couldn’t do, he started preparing for what God would do through his son. This episode explores how God’s promises unfold in His perfect timing and how you can trust Him when your dreams don’t go as planned. What doors has God closed in your life? Are you responding with disappointment or with faith? Discover how David’s example can encourage you to surrender, trust, and joyfully walk through the doors God has opened for you.
