Through the Bible: 2nd SamuelSample

A Shocking Blow on Sins

David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.” Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!”

2 Samuel 12:5-7 (ESV)

Though David sinned and was not aware of it, God’s mercy is great enough to send Nathan to him, to show him his evilness through the telling of the parable of the two men.  While we could easily point fingers and tell right from wrong in others, may we be sensitive and listen to the whisper of the Holy Spirit, lest we commit wrongs like how David and Amnon did, forgetting the consequence of sins. 

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and mercy, in helping us and guiding us through our sins. Lord, we pray for our sensitivity toward sins, that we are able to identify our weakness in flesh, to rely on You and not on our own strengths to overcome it but repent and look upon your assistance, God. We pray all these in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
