**Interview with the Author of 2 Samuel**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. Your writings have had a profound impact on many generations. Let’s start with a pivotal moment in 2 Samuel 7:22. Can you share what you were expressing in that verse?
**Author:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. In that passage, I reflect on the greatness of God. I write, “Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
**Interviewer:** That’s a powerful statement. What led you to emphasize God’s uniqueness and greatness in this moment?
**Author:** At that time, King David was receiving a profound revelation about God’s promise and His plans for the Israelites. It struck me how deeply rooted the people’s understanding of God’s nature was—how He is incomparable and beyond all understanding. It’s humility that drives us to recognize His greatness, especially in moments when we realize our own limitations.
**Interviewer:** How did your experiences shape this declaration of God’s character?
**Author:** My experiences—both as a shepherd, a king, and a servant of God—have shown me time and again that our human understanding is so limited. God’s ways and His being transcend anything we can grasp. Reflecting on His faithfulness, I had to acknowledge that we often take for granted just how exceptional He is, especially when we hear of His marvelous deeds throughout history.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like a blend of personal experience and communal history. Why do you think it’s important for future generations to hear this message?
**Author:** It’s essential for people to grasp who God truly is—wisdom, power, and love personified—especially in a world filled with uncertainty and falsehoods. Acknowledging God’s sovereignty and uniqueness brings hope and direction. When future generations understand this, they can build their lives on a foundation of faith rather than fleeting human pursuits.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your insights on such a profound verse. Your words continue to inspire.
**Author:** I appreciate your thoughtful questions. It is my hope that all will come to know the greatness of God personally, just as I have.
