Listen "David: The man after God's own heart"
Episode Synopsis
"David was actually a very, very flawed individual...Yes, he had a lot of victories, but he had a lot of moral failures."The Bible calls David "a man after God's own heart", which seems to line up with the David we know from the story of David and Goliath. However, by the end of David's life, his "rap sheet" includes a ton of sexual sin, the murder of a loyal soldier, and other grievous failures. How in the world could David be credited such a fantastic title? A better question is this — who is like our God? The grace of God is incredible. He is incredible. And like He did with David, God offers incredible grace to us."Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me— now let me rejoice.Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you." - David, Psalm 51:7-12
