2 Samuel

We read in 2 Samuel about how God works through his servant, David. He is moved of God and used of God. The Lord speaks to David through Nathan the prophet in chapter 7. He says in verse 10 that "I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more." What a blessing. God's people historically had been a transitory group. Finally, it seems like the kingdom set apart for his people is beginning to be established. In fact, later on we read in v.16 that "Thine house and they kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: they throne shall be established for ever." In a greater sense, this speaks to the foundational aspect of the work of Christ. His kingdom will be forever. If we are in His kingdom, we shall never be moved, we shall never be defeated, for with Him is the victory.
