Bible Reading Challenge Week 18 Day 5

Our reading challenge for the day is 2 Samuel 11-15. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant? 2 Samuel 11-12 See what happens when David sends his people out to battle and stays home? He is tempted and falls to temptation. One sin leads to another. May we have grace to flee temptation, to confess our sin, to receive God’s forgiveness, and to trust in Jesus, who gives us his perfect righteousness so we may be people after God’s own heart. 2 Samuel 13-15 - See how David’s household suffers just as Nathan said it would. Our past will stay with us, though it is forgiven in Christ. How do we respond to our past? Do we see it as something that Jesus has dealt with in his death on our behalf? Are we courageous enough to continue with life as redeemed people?
