Quest for God's Own Heart
The Old Testament
Through the Eyes of Michael the Archangel
“Have mercy on
me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my
sin. For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. Against you, and
you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be
proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.”
(Psalm 51:1-4)

“‘So why have you despised Me and done
such evil in My sight? Why did you take Uriah’s wife to be your own? Why did
you have Uriah murdered by the hands of the Ammonites?
“‘David, because of your actions, your
family will live by the sword. Your own children will rebel against you. What
you did in secret, I will do to you in public for all to see,’ declares the God
of Israel.”
David crumbled to the ground, weeping
bitterly. He looked up to Nathan and cried, “I’ve sinned against, my God.”
Nathan walked over to David. As he knelt
down, he reassured David of God’s love for him. “The God of Heaven’s Armies
have forgiven you. You won’t die because of your sins, but because of your
rebellion against Him, the child will.”
Nathan
got up and immediately returned to his home. David continued weeping as he
begged God to spare the life of his child. No matter what his servants tried to
do, they couldn’t comfort him...
