Reflect

Take Time to Reflect…

2Sam. 7:18 ¶ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: ¶ "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

How you see yourself in comparison to how God sees you? Do you see yourself the same God does? Or do you see yourself differently?

David desired to honor God by building God a house. God desired to eternally bless David's house. David was looking to do something to honor God because of what God was doing for him. God wanted to bless David not just for today but also for eternity. God saw David for he was and who he can be. God can see above and beyond the time of today.

David reflects and sees he is not truly deserving of the blessing God is giving him. How worthy are you? Where are you in showing your gratitude to God who is blessing you? God is willing to bless us with eternal blessings even knowing of the trials we are soon to face. Just as David had his struggles with God forgave him. God will see us, for who we are, and will give us exactly what we need and more.

Take the time in your life to pray to God a prayer of thanksgiving as David and thank God for how he has brought you this far and how God will see you through. The loving God who knows who you are and loves you as you are.
