"There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears." What a great faith David has here!! We find here another example of the Lord keeping his promises.
I looked up some more information on the Davidic Convenant which is being established here and I found this. -The Davidic Covenant refers to God’s promises to David through Nathan the prophet and is found in 2 Samuel 7 and later summarized in 1 Chronicles 17:11-14 and 2 Chronicles 6:16. This is an unconditional covenant made between God and David through which God promises David and Israel that the Messiah (Jesus Christ) would come from the lineage of David and the tribe of Judah and would establish a kingdom that would endure forever (2 Samuel 7:10-13). The Davidic Covenant is unconditional because God does not place any conditions of obedience upon its fulfillment. The surety of the promises made rests solely on God’s faithfulness and does not depend at all on David or Israel’s obedience.-
It's great to remember that God's grace is unconditional. The faith I've been give doesn't rely on anything I have done. It's a wonderful gift from God.

Why Rustproof Treasures?
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
~ Matthew 6:19-21
