King David, in II Samuel 7, is now living in his own house and it is a time of peace for the nation. David looks at his house and determines that he needs to build a house for God where the Ark of the Covenant would be located. He turns to the prophet Nathan and spells out his plan. The prophet tells him to go for it. That night God makes an appearance to the prophet and tells him to go back and tell David that he would not be the one who would build God's house. It was then God established the Davidic covenant in which God promises the king that his descendants would rule in Jerusalem and that from his lineage would come the Messiah.

Sometimes, God says no. But saying no does not mean He has deserted us, nor does it mean He is not pleased with us. Just as God blessed David with something better, He has something better for us . God is rich in grace and mercy. You can never out give God. Even when He says no, that too is a blessing from him.

We celebrate Thanksgiving next week. When you count your blessings, be sure to mention the "nos" that God sent to you, and thank Him for them.

Come to church with us tomorrow.
