When God promises to bless...
When God promises to bless the house of David, his immediate response is to go sit in God’s presence, thanking God and acknowledging his own unworthiness. This is surprising, since David had an impressive resume. David had defeated the Philistines, bringing peace to Israel. He had built a grand palace for himself and his court. He had also rescued the Ark of the Covenant from captivity and brought it into the capital city in a joyous procession. David’s humility was definitely not weak or self-deprecating. He certainly had ego strength. This is exactly what enabled David to be humble.
