Heart of Repentance

This week we continue looking at the life of David focusing on the posture of his heart when it came to repentance. When we look at the life of David it is very clear he was not a perfect man. We have all heard the story of David and Bathsheba and are aware of the crazy sequence of events that progressed through David’s conquest to take Uriah’s wife as his own. When we read this story we cannot help but ask how God still considers him a “man after His own heart”. When confronted with his sin we see David respond in brokenness, humility and guilt for his actions against God. David reaches out to God for forgiveness, repents and God responds with laying out consequences for his actions but forgives David. We have all fallen short of God’s glorious standard as Romans 3:23 says. When we humble ourselves before the almighty King, God is faithful to forgive us as well. This week we learn that a heart that is postured after the Lord is a heart that is repentant.
