David – The Lord is with you
• It was a fact of life, real, close. – 2 Sam 7:9 I have been with you wherever you
have gone– 2 Sam 7:8 God took him from the pasture and
from following the flock to be ruler; cut off all enemy
– 2 Sam 7:2 Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.

David – The Lord is with you
• Yet David was rebuked– 2 Sam 7:5 … Are you the one to build me a house
to dwell in?– 2 Sam 7:7 did I ever say to any … "Why have you
not built me a house of cedar?"– 2 Sam 7:3 … Whatever you have in mind, go ahead
and do it, for the LORD is with you."

David – The Lord is with you
• God’s dwelling has a purpose – NOT the end of God’s work … settled & rest
• 2 Sam 7:15-16 The LORD declares to you that the LORD himself will establish a house for you: Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.' "
– To continue and firmly established• Roman 16:25Now to him who is able to establish you by my
gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ– The work goes on
• Roman 16:26 … so that all nations might believe and obey him

Mary – The Lord is with you
• It was strange: disturbing, plain scary and doubtful– Luke 1:29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words
and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
– Luke 1:30 … the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid …
– Luke 1: 34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

found favor with God …– Luk2 1:38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary

power of the Most High will overshadow you. – The eternal question is “Who?”
• Luk2 1:38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said."
• Obedience OR faith
