"Righteous Requirements By God..."

King David as a very young boy, fighting the warrior giant Goliath.

     
​       David is an admirable person in the bible to me: strong, full of endurance, a man after God's own heart, and stuck in there even when the 'going got (really) tough! He made a few mistakes like we do, and was very repentive....due to his close relationship he up-kept with God.

​In 2 Samuel 12, Nathan the prophet gives David a parable along with a judgement (from the Lord) regarding his episode with Bathsheba, Uriah's wife. David had slept with Bathsheba; upon finding out she was pregnant, he then tries to get Uriah to return home from war (so Uriah will go to bed with her, and assume the child is his own). Uriah was too modest to leave his fellow troops, so (after a few failed attempts to push him home) King David has him put on the front line - along with a few other troops - dangerously close to the enemy (intentionally) and him and several others are killed....

​King David then takes Uriah's wife as his own.....Nathan the prophet corrects him, with a Word from the Lord. 

((READ Nathan's correction from the LORD *BELOW/LEFT* :  ))

God has righteousness in mind, along with His forgiveness. Don't be a burden....to yourself - any longer:  Be accountable.  God loves you, very much.

Before any blood sacrifice was made to God for repentance, the prophet said David was already forgiven of God. He was even blessed and favored still, and God took special attention to his 2nd child (the future King, Solomon) with Bathsheba.

But hindrances were born out of his contempt (disrespect/disregard/dishonor) towards the rules of God. Rules are important.  Do you think the Law was burned up with flames because the Savior of the Lord came??

Nope.

​He fulfilled them, AND we still have righteousness as a requirement.

Grace is fantastic, but accountability is even better.

With the "Title" you were given, CAME accountability.  Do you *own* it??
Ok, I'm done now, lol. Just a little food for thought, based upon a couple things God placed in my spirit after reading the story of David. He is my favorite person to read about in the bible, so I love David! But here there is a lot to learn, and one is what message is behind this portion of the story, with David's disregard to human life,

​God did not disregard Uriah's importance or significance.
​
God's Blessings,
Davina
