1. Kingly Robes VS Garments of HumilityThe Naked Truth {244}
At the pinnacle of greatness, David faces his fiercest battle. The war isn’t waged on the bloody fields of Rabbah but over the six inches of mental turf that lies behind David’s frontal lobe.
What Goliath with his monstrous lance failed to do to David, a bathing woman, seen from the king’s rooftop, does. How easily a “giant” is felled by one small stone or, in this case, one small glance.
David hides his sin under a veil of deceit. Sin hardens David’s heart to stone. But God sends Nathan to break it.
1. Kingly Robes VS Garments of HumilityNathan Bares All {246}
He removes his kingly robes and puts on the garments of humility and mourning. He prostrates himself openly before God in repentance. A year earlier, under the cover of darkness, David prostrated himself in lust secretly with Bathsheba on that fatal eve his dying child was conceived.
In the Shadow of His Wings2. David’s Concealing VS God’s Covering
2. David’s Concealing VS God’s CoveringBlessed Is He Whose Sin is Covered {248}
2. David’s Concealing VS God’s CoveringBlessed Is He Whose Sin is Covered {248}
(1) David makes no excuse for his sin;(2) he makes no attempt to justify himself; (3) he does not find fault with God’s law for condemning him; (4) he blames only himself for his sin; and(5) he genuinely hates the sin that separated him from God and turns from it.And God covers it.
SIN IS COVERED
2. David’s Concealing VS God’s CoveringBlessed Is He Whose Sin is Covered {248}
God does not overlook sin.But sin is covered, meaning its
guilt is no longer to be imputed, or brought against, the sinner when it is repented of.
Confession alone is incomplete without repentance. We must
not only be sorry for our sin, we must turn away from it in
God’s power.
2. David’s Concealing VS God’s CoveringBlessed Is He Whose Sin is Covered {248}
God can forgive and cover all sin. His grace not only forgives sin but accepts the repentant
sinner as though he or she never sinned!
That is the power of Jesus, our Substitute, upon whom God lays
the sin. In this way, Christ’s righteousness is imputed to the
repentant sinner.
In the Shadow of His Wings3. Dirty Laundry VS Cleansing Agent
3. Dirty Laundry VS Gleansing AgentWhiter Than Snow {250}
Purge suggests the idea of making atonement for sin.
Hyssop, a gray-green marjoram plant, was used as a spice and
had medicinal properties. Thus, it was both a nutritive and a
healing agent. David understood that only the
remedy with the greatest purifying power could cleanse him from sin’s defilement. And
that remedy is the atoning blood of our Savior.
3. Dirty Laundry VS Gleansing AgentWhiter Than Snow {250}
God does not merely cleanse the heart from iniquity; He creates in His forgiven child a new heart. A
new heart is a new mind.Prayer for forgiveness always
should be united with prayer for heart renewal and holy living.
David desires to be clothed in an entirely new mental and moral
nature. He prays to be steadfast in obedience and not to be
deprived of the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
