YOURS, LORD, IS THE KINGDOM
Keywords 29:11
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory
and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
1.
David’s prayer of praise (10-20)
David led the whole assembly in a prayer that
humbly praised God. His prayer
praised God
for who he is and what he had done. David ascribed greatness,
power,
glory, and majesty to the LORD God. All things, including the kingdom,
were the
LORD’s who was Israel’s true ruler. David recognized that their offerings
to God had
come from God in the first place. He prayed that the willingness of his
people to
give to God may remain forever. What we offer comes from the hand of
God. May we
also have God-honoring desires and thoughts in our hearts forever.
2. The
LORD exalted Solomon (21-30)
The next day, a huge offering was made to the
LORD. They celebrated with
great joy.
Then Solomon was again acknowledged as king. All pledged their
submission
to Solomon. The LORD exalted Solomon before Israel. David lived out
his last
days in blessing and honor. God had graciously raised a king for the next
generation.
Prayer Father, yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever and ever.
We praise
you.
One Word Praise the LORD as he deserves
