"Now, O Lord God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning His house, establish it forever, and do as you have said" --2 Sam. 7:25
This is faith's response to the promises of God, "Do as you have said." Nothing can turn aside that which God has planned. He works everything according to the counsel of His own will. When He gives quietness no one can disturb. He never promises one thing and then does another. His Word is unchangeable and His covenant is everlasting.
Overwhelmed with the assurances of blessing not only for the present but for a long time to come, David bows his head in the presence of God and puts his Amen to what He has covenanted. He who thus confides in the sure Word of the Lord will never be put to shame...
