[:en]Thoughts from 1 Chronicles 17[:]

[:en]God sent Nathan to tell David that he was not the one to build His temple.  God will raise up his offspring to build His house.  He promised not to take His love from him but will establish his kingdom forever and ever.  David responded humbly by calling himself “servant”.  He thanked God for the mercies He had promised and believed in His promises with thanks and appreciation.[:]
