“78Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,”
I had never noticed until recently that another name for Jesus is Sunrise, as this passage notes!-
I loved seeing this as the sun is rising outside my window! What a beautiful reminder and a wonderful way to start my day❤️

13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness and mercy toward us sinners!!!
I also think it’s good to note that though he was forgiven, David did experience the consequences of his sin. Also, I love how David’s first response after he learned his child had died was to go and worship the Lord! The only way through hard times is running into the arms of our all-knowing, all-loving Father.

If God loves us why did he take the child’s life away?? sorry I’m new to this whole thing?

I’m partially new to this too but I think that in the Old Testament, Christ hadn’t come as a substitute for our sins and so they paid for the consequences of their sins. I’m glad we have Christ because I might not have made it this far.

But God also told him that he had forgiven him. And I think he proved that by loving and making Solomon King.

Also another thing; because God sent his only Son, Jesus to die for our sins, He wants us to pay for the sins that we commit. So, in David’s case, God punished him by killing his offspring, but He is such a merciful God, that he didn’t kill David, which he could’ve done. But, because he loves us all unconditionally, he gives us a chance to ask and pray for forgiveness, even if it means loosing something or going though trials and tribulations. In the end, with God, we can grow and overcome from the battles and things we face, which will make us stronger believers in God and his wonderful Word.

How beautiful is Zechariah’s prophecy ❤️

I love that although David messed up and his family had so much scandal God still used him to make a way for Jesus later on. My God is merciful and forgiving.

“7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man!” How quick we can be to judge others and totally ignore the sin in our own lives. That line got me this morning.
