In the sermon "David sat before the Lord," Don Bell explores the profound theme of divine grace and the humility of humanity in the presence of God. He emphasizes King David’s recognition of his lowliness before God, citing David’s reflection on his worthiness in light of God’s overwhelming grace and mercy. Key scriptural references, particularly from 2 Samuel 7:18-29, illustrate God's promises to David, especially the establishment of David's house through Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of these promises. Bell highlights the significance of sitting "before the Lord" as a position of reverence and adoration, where believers are reminded of their dependence on God's grace. This sermon speaks to the essence of Reformed doctrine, emphasizing that salvation is entirely a work of God and highlighting the believer's proper response, which is one of awe and gratitude.
“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house that thou hast brought me hitherto?”
“If we ever see anything of the holiness and glory and power and beauty of the Lord, we'll sit before Him just like David did.”
“He said, 'for Thy word's sake.' When God gives His word, marker down, it's good.”
“When a day has a thousand years and a thousand years has a day, what God does for us, He does for all of us.”
