2 Samuel 7:20-22 (ESV Strong's)
20 And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord GOD! 21 Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. 22 Therefore you are great, O LORD God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
God Brings About Greatness
David wanted to build a temple for God. God said no ... David would not be allowed to build the temple. God would, however, allow one of David’s sons to build it and promised David that he would ALWAYS have someone from his family on the throne to reign. God did this through Christ. In the above passage we see the results of God saying no to one thing, but opening the door up to another thing. God told David no to the thing he wanted in his heart, only to open up the door to something greater than David could imagine. This is what God does in our lives. We see one thing and God sees another. David breaks fourth in praise as God opens up a door after the one that was in his heart was closed. For there is NONE LIKE YOU David states. That is the God we serve. When we see closed doors, God sees open opportunity to rest in His great plans.
