Study Notes

mercy
2 Samuel 7:14-15 state the principle of judgment within the family of God. It is always remedial, not penal Hebrews 12:5-11 .

Judgment of the wicked is penal, not remedial.

judge

Self-judgment is not so much the believer's moral condemnation of his own ways or habits, or of himself, for allowing such ways. Self-judgment avoids chastisement. If neglected, the Lord judges, and the result is chastisement, but never condemnation 1 Corinthians 11:32 ; 2 Samuel 7:14 ; 2 Samuel 7:15 ; 2 Samuel 12:13 ; 2 Samuel 12:14 ; 1 Corinthians 5:5 ; 1 Timothy 1:20 ; Hebrews 12:7 .

Context Summary

2 Samuel 7:1-17 - The Glorious Future Of David's House

Always do better for the cause of God than for yourself. You have no right to dwell in cedar, while God's Ark is under curtains. Also, beware of giving directions or advice, unless you have first consulted God. You may be as good as Nathan, but, if you speak apart from the divine Spirit, you will probably be compelled, on the following morning, to eat your words.

David's intention was good, but neither was he the man nor was that the time for temple-building. See 1 Chronicles 22:8. The sword could not yet be exchanged for the trowel, but in the meantime the will was accepted in lieu of the act. It was then God's turn to pour out a perfect avalanche of blessing, which must have made David forget those weary years of waiting and wandering. Do not be anxious about the future. Use your life and all its resources for God, and he will care for you. No tongue can exaggerate the goodness and mercy which God lays up for them that trust in Him before the sons of men. And it is because He loves that He does not hesitate to chasten. [source]
