David a man of God

Part 1

David a man of God

David a Godly man, who was far from perfect. He not only sinned he sinned big. But God called him a man after his own heart. 1 sam13:14

David and Bathsheba had an affair while Bathsheba’s husband was away at war. He was a solider of David’s army.

1. Bathsheba became pregnant

a. David tried to cover it up

i. He sent for Uriah while he was in the field to come home. David got him drunk and told him to go b with his wife. Uriah did not he was faithful to the cause and the men he was on the line with. He would not indulge in pleasure until the war was over.

ii. David ha Uriah to be placed in the heat of the battle were he could be killed. And was killed.

The Lord sent Nathan to David to show him his mistakes and wrongs. Without hesitation, David asks for forgiveness and accepts the consequences of his sins.

2samuel13-14 shows the consequences for his actions. But he took what was coming to him without trying to run and hide from his mistakes. Also because he didn’t come to God with his problems at the beginning he suffered harder consequences.

Yet David still one the Lords favor and became the model king for kings to come. Later Jesus became a descendant of David. That’s the line I would be proud to have. David showed his love to God by worship and praise, prayers, and just by acknowledge & proclaiming his love. Psalms is David talks and his relationship with God. Psalms speaks of David’s love & worship for God. He took time to praise and thank God for everything. By David’s faith and words we learn how to become favor of the Lord. If we need help praying or having trouble listen for Gods voice, David’s words can help us.

1 Samuel focus on David’s life b4 he became king

2 Samuel is his rule as king

1 Kings is his death “beginning of kings”

1 Chronicles speaks a little on David

There may b more but this is all I no

VISION

David worshiped the Lord so much he wanted to build a temple to honor him. He had a vision and a heart for God.
