David wants to build God a house, but God promises to establish David's house forever. Jesus is the Son of David whose kingdom will never end, and through whom God brings us into his everlasting presence (Luke 1:32-33; John 1:14; 2:19-21).

Davud establishes Jerusalem as the seat of his throne, defeats his enemies and brings back the ark of God into the city. Jesus defeats our greatest enemies, brings his people in to the New Jerusalem, where God will dwell with them forever (Rev 21:1-3).

David refuses to grasp the throne but waits for God to establish him as king. Jesus doesn't grasp the throne (Mt 4:8-9, 16:21-23, 26:52).

David laments the death of the Lord's anointed king as he waits for God to fulfil his promise. Jesus laments for God's people (Matt 23:37-39) as he waits for his "hour" (John 12:23).

God guides us so that whatever we do, we can do it for His glory.

God's Spirit primarily guides us through his word, which he inspired.

God primarily guides us by his word as revealed in Scripture.

God's sovereign will of decree if foundational to understand God's will for our lives.

Jesus is enough, so stay faithful to him.

A Christian life of holiness is expressed in love for others and contentment because God will never forsake us.

Live holy lives because we belong to an unshakable kingdom.

God lovingly disciplines his children for their good so that they may share in his holiness.

Since the stories of the witnesses prove the faithfulness of God, we have reason to persevere in our own race by throwing off everything that hinders and fixing our eyes on Jesus.

Christians are those who persevere and receive God’s promise, not those who deliberately keep on sinning and receive God’s judgment.

Jesus offered the one perfect sacrifice that perfects God’s people forever, so no more sacrifice for sin is needed.
