Trusting In God’s Promise (Psalm 132)

Songs for the Journey: Sermons on the Psalms of Accents
Reading: 2 Samuel 7 & Psalm 132

Psalm 132 reminds us of the bigger story Christians are now part of in Christ. It is rooted in an historical account from Israel’s past (2 Samuel 7) & points forward to things that could & can only be fulfilled in Christ! The first part of the Psalm focuses on David’s vow to build a dwelling place for God, the later part focuses on God’s sure promise to David & in the middle we find a prayer for God to fulfill his promise! Every time the pilgrims repeated this Psalm, they were reaffirming their trust in God’s commitment & ability to fulfill the promise he made to David!
