David killed the giant by faith in the Lord and had the anointing of song and praise.....He also was a warrior in battle, very successful I might add for Gods love and favor was upon his life.....Then God anointed David as king of Israel.
Eventually life and maybe the pride of life sought Davids devotion to God. Satan set things up for sin to pull hard against Davids sinful flesh that we all have and as Satans does us all. David fell in the temptation and with Bathsheba he sinned greatly against God and against the sacred Anointing. He even had the blood of Uriah (Bathsheba's husband), spilt upon the earth to try to hide his sin from Israel. Such things never work when you are called and ANOINTED. The Spirit of the Lord in us and upon us has eyes you know?
But even though the Anointed David sinned greatly, he became greatly forgiven and wrote bountifully precious psalms about the goodness and mercy of God.
It wasn't long that in the fellowship of forgiveness, God purged David to be even more fruitful in the fruits of his repentance and devotion to God and became a scribe who wrote prophecies from the Holy Ghost. Psalms 2 and Psalms 22 are two of them.
Friend, your awful, terrible, embarrassing past does not have to be the end of your story. Gods mercies the bible says are renewed EVERY MORNING. He took David the murderer and the adulterer, the abuser of his governing powers and with the glory in His mercy God made a redeemed soul and prophet out of King David. David in his new found fire for God ended up having a heart that was after Gods most affectionate love of God affections. God later said of David, This man David is a man after my own heart. A murderer, an adulterer became one of faith and graces greatest legacies of men on earth.
Truly Gods love and great good and rich tender-mercies can redeem, forgive, and change us all for the much better. I still have hope for our nation. A returning of our hearts back to God....deno......share freely.
