With your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.

2 Samuel 7:18-29

Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said, “Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

“And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, so that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight.

Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

David prayed to the Lord praised the Holy Name of the Lord, and gave thanks to the blessing of the Lord to his family.

Why?

David humbled himself, came to the Lord, and prayed to the Lord for the Lord has promised his name and house will be established.

Yes, there is no one like our God who can bless his children and help us to build a house belonging to Christ.

There is no God but you, as we have heard with our own eyes. 

How?

May the Lord bless me and my family, and may the name of the Lord be great forever in Taiwan and China.
