What does 2 Samuel 7:22 mean? β†’

Passage Context

20And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.
21For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
22Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
23And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
24For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeAweFear

β€œI am Yahweh, the one who rescued you from Egypt. You can't worship anyone else but Me.” At the beginning of the Ten Commandments, the Lord God Almighty reminded us of this most important truth. What else can be said?

Prayer

I hold you in the highest regard possible in my heart, Holy, Righteous, and Only Living God. Please pardon me if I don't always hold you in the highest regard. Give me the strength through your Holy Spirit to let go of all the little things that hinder my devotion to you and prevent you from being the supreme and sovereign God in my daily life. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

God's promises to Abraham and David, what God did through Jesus, and how He kept both Abraham's and David's lines going until Jesus are nothing short of miraculous. They are proof of how reliable and strong God is. When we get down because of all the unfaithfulness and blasphemy in the world, we need to remember that God is always true and that His chosen people show us how powerful He is.

Prayer

Father of all, Provider and Protector of your people, please give me a sense of reverent wonder at your faithfulness and a sense of courageous awe at your power. You are the only being or power that is like you, because you are God. I thank you for your greatness and kindness. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Holy, righteous, and the only living God, you are the most important thing to me. Please forgive me when I do not put you first in my life.

In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
