We often are so glad David lived - to know the mercy and the available Love God has for us - to try again.
Consider the Bravery of the Shepherd's Son - David, Son of Jesse.
Psalm 3:6
I will not fear
though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
Because of David. And his obedience to God - Jesus had multitudes.
We all want to know our purpose driven life. Psalm 139.
And sometimes we can find the solution by looking forward, back or sideways. We live not just for ourselves, for the people we Love. The Nation we love. Those who believe in our Lord. For others. And for the future, unborn.
We put down a path David explained in the Scriptures. Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. The Goodness of our deeds, words, the path we want to blaze. God says we blaze a path. Mercy of honest and truth. Compassion and honesty. Protection. God did not coddle David. David did coddle his children, to their failure. David chose what was selfish interest to the disservice to the Nation of Israel and repented immediately. No one is without mistakes. Sometimes in self-interest, sometimes in plain mistakes. David was guilty of expediency, sometimes. Sometimes in abject misery. And other times, to take the difficult path for the meaningful and worthy life.
Psalm 23:5-6
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely
goodness and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and
I shall dwell in the House of the Lord
forever.
Abba, Father God,
Each day we put out our open hands to You.
Let this day not merely be
one day tells its tale to another.
Use this day in my life to Your glory.
Let me encounter the people
You would call me to, about You.
We are much more attuned
to let Your love be revealed in our lives without words.
Should You require words, help those words be from You.
We ask healing
of Your Good Creation
The fullness of the earth is Yours.
The healing of those we pray for
in our heart and soul.
in our heart and soul.
The safety of Your people.
Let evil and practicing evil
depart far from us
and our children.
The Healing
of the Nation.
Wholeness
Holy.
Goodness.
Dwell in us, Father,
Dwell fully in those we love,
Help us to seek You first
and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.
I trust in Jesus,
our Strong Deliverer.
Amen.
I ask in the name of
Jesus Christ the Lord,
each day.
Amen.
