Context of 2 Samuel 7:22
20What more can David add in speaking to You? For You already know Your servant, my Lord Adonai. 21For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have done everything great, revealing this to Your servant. Therefore You are great, my Lord Adonai! For there is none like You, and there is no other God besides You, as we all have heard with our ears. 23What one nation on earth is like Your people, like Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a Name, to do for You a great thing and awesome deeds for Your land, before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt—driving out nations and their gods? 24So You established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your very own people forever, and You, Adonai, have become their God.

Considering what the character and condition of man is, we may be amazed that God should deal with him as he does. The promise of Christ includes all; if the Lord God be ours, what more can we ask, or think of? Ep…Read the comment
