Judges 8:1-35; Isaiah 29:1-24; 1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel. The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me. 2 Samuel 23:1–2 NKJV
David experienced great failure. Yet despite his sin with Bathsheba and her husband (which haunted him to his grave), David’s name is uniquely important in Scripture. It appears more frequently than anyone else apart from the Lord Jesus and he is the Spiritled lyricist of some of the most poignant poems of Scripture. This repentant man was used mightily of God and called, “a man after My own heart” (Acts 13:22). No matter how cold our hearts or how
far we may wander from God, His arms are always open to forgive, and to restore to useful service once again. —Jim Comte
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free? —Samuel Davies
