This week, we resumed our walk through the story of God, told in the Bible. We left off in December with the great promise God had made to King David. This promise pointed to the Messiah and was really the final piece of the foundation God laid for His plan through His people. So the people were left to live between the promise and the fulfillment (much like the church between Jesus' ascension and His return). Unfortunately, the story of God's people in the rest of the Old Testament is mostly one of failure. But in the midst of that failure, the faithfulness of God shines all the brighter.
The story of this failure begins with King David, on a day where he had given himself nothing to do. His great sin against God and his loyal soldier Uriah had terrible ramifications for the future of his family and kingdom. The question for us is, "What must we do to protect ourselves against this type of catastrophic sin in our lives?"
