• I love to give this chapter the title "Communion." God is confiding all His thoughts to David, not only about himself and his people but also about Christ. David "went in, and sat before Jehovah" (2 Sam. 7:18) and in complete freedom, complete confidence, he now speaks to the Lord of hosts who is seated between the cherubim, telling Him his thoughts, thoughts of deepest appreciation for all that God had done for him. (“Communion: 2 Samuel 7” by H.L. Rossier)
• The first thing worth noting is the king's humility. He has no thought of pride. Communion with the Lord, instead of exalting man, lowers him in his own estimation. (“Communion: 2 Samuel 7” by H.L. Rossier)
