1 Chronicles 17:17-22 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; for you have also spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come… Consider I. — THE RELATION GOD BEARS TO HIS PEOPLE. 1. He has chosen them out of the world. 2. He has given Himself to them in a peculiar way. 3. He avows that relation to them before the whole universe. II. WHAT UNDER THAT RELATION WE MAY EXPECT AT HIS HANDS. 1. The care of His providence. 3. The communications of His grace. 3. The manifestations of His love. 4. The possession of His glory. III. WHAT UNDER THAT RELATION HE IS ENTITLED TO EXPECT FROM US. 1. That we be a people to Him. 2. That we give ourselves to Him. (C. Simeon, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. |
