Week 19

This week we will witness the dissolution and then the restoration of David’s kingdom. As you read, think about the consequences of David’s sin with Bathsheba. While God did not abandon him, life got more difficult. Listen to the psalms as the author cries out to God in the middle of life’s difficulties.

Question:
-Are there areas of your life in which you need to shore up your integrity?

Reading Summary

What a great week of readings!

We have been on quite the journey with David as we climbed a spiritual mountain (God’s covenant) and walked through a valley of shame (adultery and murder). Remember Psalms 51, David’s prayer of confession and longing to be restored to fellowship with God after his great sin.
