Daily Scripture & Questions:
II Samuel 7:1-29; I Chronicles 17:1-27 These two accounts of the promise to and covenant with David are critical to understand the Bible.  Individual heirs of David would be disciplined for their sins, but the promise would still hold true about "David's house."  Ultimately, the promise would be fulfilled in David's greater Son, Jesus.  Thank God for His covenant faithfulness to David and to us!

Family Devotions-Scripture & Questions:
Read II Samuel 7:11-16.  How is God's promise to David like that of a good parent (who will discipline their child but never put them out of the family)?

Biblical Prayer Focus:
Luke 11:13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

The Holy Spirit is given to all who trust Christ. Yet we face the daily decision of yielding to Him. Ask the Spirit to direct and control your life today.
