2 Samuel 12:1-13

Nathan Rebukes David
9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'

11 "This is what the LORD says: 'Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.' "

13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD."
Nathan replied, "The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die.

Reflection of Bee:

David has committed a sin that is hated by God so much. Yet when David realized his sin, he immediately acknowledged and repented from his sin instead of trying to rationalize it. God's response to David's confession was an immediate forgiveness too.

We need to be willing to confess our sins readily as God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins (1 John 1:9).

Dear Lord,
Search my heart tonight and if there is any known or hidden sins, I want to forsake them and ask for your forgiveness and cleansing. I pray that I will keep myself pure so that I will know Your will for me.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
