In this part of The Story, we discover that David has it all. Everything he does turns to gold. He defeats enemies time and again, shows kindness to Mephibosheth, and expands his kingdom. The world is at peace and David is at rest in his palace. Then we learn that David lets down his guard and makes tragic choices that cause a pivotal shift in David’s life, his family and his kingdom. When we sin, and we all will, we must admit our sins honestly to God, live with the consequences with dignity, and experience the forgiving, restoring grace of God. When we are confronted with sin, let’s be like David and repent.
