2 Samuel 23:5 (ESV Strong's)
5 “For does not my house stand so with God?
For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
all my help and my desire?
My House Stands With God!
Before we can fully understand the above passage, we have read the prior verses:
2 Samuel 23:2-4 (ESV Strong's)
2 “The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me;
his word is on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel has spoken;
the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
ruling in the fear of God,
4 he dawns on them like the morning light,
like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
David is singing a song to God. He is stating that God will bless those who stand with God and make Him their soul desire. When a that happens, God stands with you. David is praising God for the blessings on his home (his life). God makes a covenant with man based upon God’s character and promises. David is rejoicing in that covenant. David knows that the blessings of God are not always visible. He knows that hardship still comes to a child of God. But, he also knows, that God will bless him and his home, eternally, if he follows the Rock of Israel ... God. David ends that thought with a question ... but the question is more of statement with an explanation point at the end:
For will he not cause to prosper
all my help and my desire?
God will “cause to prosper” all my help and my desire. When we walk with God we can be so bold as proclaim this truth in our lives. I claim this truth today!!
