2 Samuel 11:1-27 // Nathan Miller
Where will I turn when I fail? The question isn’t whether or not you’re going to fail. The question is what will you do with your failure? Will you turn before you become the villain?
Hiding always leads to more shame. Duplicity never leads to happiness. Self-justification only brings about deeper inadequacy.
King David is a colossal disappointment. But he was never meant to be the ultimate hero we need. Yet, what’s so amazing to me, is that our God is so big, so forgiving, so loving, that He actually uses even this to bring about our rescue.
And where Adam and Eve failed. And where David failed. And where you and I fail. Jesus succeeds. Jesus passes the test.
