DECEMBER 14
"The LORD also declares to you that the LORD will make
a house for you...Your house and your kingdom are firm forever before me; your
throne shall be firmly established forever.”
2 Sam. 7:11,16
Reflection: David, like so many of
his ancestors, eventually falls from grace into great sin. But the ever-faithful Lord will
never abandon him. David’s house is shaken and will face centuries of turmoil,
but the Lord makes another oath: one day He will raise up the Messiah, the King
of Kings from David’s line who will rule forever. The Savior is coming.
Prayer: God our Father, David the
King is the great unifier and leader of the Hebrew people, but he falls like
all the others. But in Your infinite mercy, you raise him up and bring us
salvation through his house. Help us to reflect on your boundless love. Amen.
