GOD in the Old Testament - 2 Chronicles - Part 14

2 Chronicles 6:4

Then he said:

 

        "Praise be to the LORD, the God of

    Israel, who with his hands has

    fulfilled what he promised with his

    mouth to my father David."

 

2 Chronicles 6:7  

        "My father David had it in his

    heart to build a temple for the Name

    of the LORD, the God of Israel."

 

2 Chronicles 6:10  

        "The LORD has kept the promise

    he made. I have succeeded David my

    father and now I sit on the throne of

    Israel, just as the LORD promised, and

    I have built the temple for the Name

    of the LORD, the God of Israel."

 

2 Chronicles 6:14  

He said:

 

        "LORD, the God of Israel, there is

    no God like you in heaven or on

    earth--you who keep your covenant

    of love with your servants who

    continue wholeheartedly in your way."

 

2 Chronicles 6:16-17  

        "Now, LORD, the God of Israel,

    keep for your servant David my

    father the promises you made to him

    when you said, 'You shall never fail 

    to have a successor to sit before me

    on the throne of Israel, if only your 

    descendants are careful in all they do

    to walk before me according to my

    law, as you have done.' And now,

    LORD, the God of Israel, let your word

    that you promised your servant David

    come true."

 

2 Chronicles 6:18-19  

        "But will God really dwell on 

    earth with humans? The heavens,

    even the highest heavens, cannot

    contain you. How much less this

    temple I have built! Yet, LORD my God,

    give attention to your servant's prayer

    and his plea for mercy. Hear the cry

    and the prayer that your servant is

    praying in your presence."

 

2 Chronicles 6:40-42  

        "Now, my God, may your eyes be

    open and your ears attentive to the

    prayers offered in this place.

 

    "Now arise, LORD God, and come to your resting place,

        you and the ark of your might.

    May your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation,

        may your faithful people rejoice in your goodness.

    LORD God, do not reject your anointed one.

        Remember the great love promised to David your servant."
