Day 114 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: 2 Samuel 10-12; Luke 19:29-48)
I HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE LORD
Nathan said to David, “You are the man!”
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” (2 Samuel 12:7&13 ESV)
David was the King of Israel, and he was a sinner. In today’s Old Testament reading, David is confronted with his sin. He confesses it to Nathan. And Nathan forgives him. There will still be consequences to his sin, yet he would continue to celebrate the gifts of reconciliation and forgiveness for the rest of his life.
Even though none of us are kings of queens, yet we can have the same blessings David did. We can confess our sins knowing that God will graciously forgive us for Jesus’ sake.
May the gift of God’s forgiveness and reconciliation fill you joy this day as you live every minute for Him. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
