2 Samuel 7:25-29
7:25 So now, O
Lord God, make this promise you have made about your servant and his family a permanent reality.
Do as you promised,
7:26 so you may gain lasting fame,
as people say,
‘The
Lord of hosts is God over Israel!’ The dynasty
of your servant David will be established before you,
7:27 for you, O
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have told
your servant, ‘I will build you a dynastic house.’
That is why your servant has had the courage
to pray this prayer to you.
7:28 Now, O sovereign
Lord, you are the true God!
May your words prove to be true!
You have made this good promise to your servant!
7:29 Now be willing to bless your servant’s dynasty
so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O sovereign
Lord, have spoken. By your blessing may your servant’s dynasty be blessed on into the future!”
Psalms 116:16
116:16 Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant;
I am your lowest slave.
You saved me from death.
Romans 4:20-21
4:20 He
did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
4:21 He was
fully convinced that what God
promised he was also able to do.
