1 Chronicles 29:10-20 Why David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be you, LORD God of Israel our father… I. THINE, O LORD, IS THE KINGDOM. What kingdom? 1. The kingdom of nature, with all its productions and materials. 2. The kingdom of providence. As He made all, so His care extends to all. 3. The kingdom of grace. This is a kingdom within the kingdom of nature and providence. It is a mediatorial, a spiritual empire, which is designed to establish the peculiar reign of God, not only over men, but in them. II. THE GLORY OF THIS KINGDOM. This is seen — 1. In its Sovereign — the Lord Jesus. 2. In its universality. 3. In its prospect (Daniel 2:44; Daniel 7:13, 14). 4. In its subjects: "The excellent of the earth." 5. its privileges: "Eye hath not seen," etc. (1) Peace. (2) Liberty: "The glorious liberty of the sons of God." (3) Plentitude: "The Lord of hosts makes unto all people a feast of fat things," etc. "My God shall supply all your need," etc. (W. Jay, M. A.)
