As the consequences of David’s sin unfold, he understands that his hope of restoration is in God alone. vs 25, 26 —Take back the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the Lord’s eyes, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His house. But if He says, I have no delight in you, then here I am; let Him do to me what seems good to Him.
These two verses made me think of David’s heart and attitude in dealing with his sin. It had me reading Psalm 51, back to David’s heart of repentance as he was confronted with his sin in chapter 12.
Living in the presence of God, His light shines over my darkness. It’s not easy to be so exposed as I mess up and sin. Recently I was confronted about something I am ashamed of from my past. Psalm 51 was my immediate “go to” scripture. God’s kindness leads me to repent over my sin and renounce my shame.
Christ alone for my past, Christ alone for my present, Christ alone for my future. Something Mei Lan always says to me that I love, and we’re all familiar with this line as PKirt has shared this encouragement several times too: All of Tina for all of Jesus. All of _______ (you!) for all of Jesus.
