King David: 1 To The Chief Musician

The author points out that regardless of any of the other possible explanations, the text only points at David’s piety as the reason for his resilience. Although the servants are still confused by his actions they may not understand because David characterizes himself as someone who finds resilience through religion. Bosworth continues his argument by stating that the ability to find meaning in a loss is “a core part of grieving and generally surviving adversity” (Bosworth, 703). David knows that he deserves to die and his sin is the reason for his infant son’s illness. He begs God to change his mind, but when he does not, David accepts this and moves on.

Releasing sin has always been a struggle for me and I have decided to release it after reading Psalms of Faith.In Psalms of Faith written by Ray C.Stedman he talks about being cleansed from faults and desires from the world. Introduced to the readers Psalm 19:12 which is “But who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.” According to Benson Commentary this verse is David asking the lord to forgive him from his sin as he repents and reflects on what he has done wrong. This passage in the text meant a lot to me and where I am at in my life, because I am working on repenting for the sins I have committed and reflecting on those things. I want God to cleanse me from the sin I have committed but in knowing this I am aware he won’t just

This has 6 verses, at first he questions God then he calls God out. But then he worshiped God, he thanks God. For the things he have done for him. David was feeling hopeless, so he called on God. Just like in Carrie Underwood- “ Jesus take the wheel”. The young adult called for God when she felt powerless.

Here we see David in his first major fall from grace. King David accomplished a great evil, a two-fold sin. Not only did he commit adultery, but also he also sent Uriah into battle so that he would be killed. David, being blinded by his selfishness, did not notice that he had committed a great sin in the eyes of God.

Who is David? David is the man portrayed in the Bible who is destined to become Israel’s second King. One of David’s well-known stories was the time when he killed the Philistine giant, Goliath, with a sling and a stone. Many artist during the Renaissance designed sculptures of David. These artists include Donatello, Verrocchio, Michelangelo, and Bernini. Each of these artists chose to create David in their own special and different way.

With such knowledge, David came to understand the nature of God—and that He is good and He hears the cry of His people. In Psalm 34:3-4, David has rejoiced because he sought the Lord and He delivered him from all

Josiah was the last of the good kings of Judah. He is often referred to as the young reformer. His reform program was the last attempt to bring Judah back to the Lord before the end came. The nation was shrinking fast. Josiah must be seen as the last ray of hope just before the darkness of the Babylonian captivity set in. Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. He did what was pleasing in the eyes of the Lord and followed the examples of his ancestor David. During the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah begin to seek the Lord. Then in the twelfth year, he begin to purify Judah and Jerusalem, by destroying all the pagan shrines, Asherah poles and the carved idols

Throughout the Old Testament, there are many examples of great kings that can be found. However, two of the greatest and most blessed Kings were King David and his son, King Solomon. Here, we will compare the lives and reigns of both kings by reviewing their faith, their triumphs, and their downfalls.

Bosworth says that David’s belief in his ability to have some control over the events of his life are what leads to him being a more resilient person overall. David is believed to be in the category of people who’ve experienced trauma that does not seek to make sense of his son’s death through blaming himself and dealing with personal guilt, because he views it as a punishment just as the prophet Nathan had said. Knowing that his sin would be paid for by his son’s life was enough for David to know the Lord’s will was done, regardless of the outcome of his

Bathsheba became pregnant and David tried to hide his sin, instead of accepting and confessing to God what he had done, he calls Uriah and asks him to go sleep with his wife to cover up that the child she was waiting was Uriah’s son and not David’s. Uriah does not accept to do what David and, David takes Uriah and sends him to the front of the battle so he can get killed. The big problem here is that God was watching what David was doing, he knew his heart, then send the prophet Nathan to confront him and David recognizes that he has sin. Nathan tells him that God will not punish him with eternal sin, which is death.

King David had many sons and daughters. Most of them had tragic deaths or were physically abused. But one of the king’s sons would become the next king of Israel. He would also be the wisest person to ever walk the earth. Although he would have many victories, he would also have a few losses. This remarkable young child was named Solomon. Solomon was the tenth son of David and the second son of Bathsheba. He had only grown up in the palace in Jerusalem, yet at a young age he had much knowledge. He knew how brutal and dangerous the outside world was, and he also knew what it was like to be treated with respect and give respect. After his father passed, Solomon, who was now King, helped Israel to reach what was called “the

David is a fairly recent college graduate who recently relocated to the Hillsboro area from Southern Oregon and is now looking for a long term opportunity where he can continue to grow as a professional while helping others. He is someone who has a passion to help others and would like to grow into a leadership role one day. He began as a sales associate at Zumiez and quickly moved up to Assistant Manager while attending school. When asked what brings him the greatest sense of accomplishment he said it was a job well done.

Of the numerous things that David did, there are the individuals who disliked David in the times of David and there are those in the present time that would contend that David did not exist. This is a simple contention to protect against for every one of David 's Successes are recorded. Indeed, even every one of David 's Failures are recorded, and every one of David 's Embarrassments were recorded. At the point when God gave judgment against Israel, advertisement against David, we discover every one of God 's judgments against David were recorded. Moreover, we can likewise observe when David apologized; every one of God 's endowments on David were recorded as well.

Once we recognize God’s true love for us and see the need of looking to Christ to change our hearts rather than trying to do it on our own, we see our need of repentance, which involves a change of direction, turning our back on previous intentions and actions, and seeking new direction in life. Instead of making excuses, blaming circumstances or others, repentance means taking full responsibility. King David, after committing murder and adultery appealed to Christ: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalms 51:10). He accepted his guilt and asked for a new direction – from Christ.

Verse three outlines the start of the forming of David's band of miscreants; "Also joining him was every person who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. He became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him" (NKJV). David is now the leader of an unstructured group of men discontented with the current political situation. They had been wronged and mistreated, were under a curse of debt that they could not pay. They were not trained loyal soldiers, but like David, are so distressed that they have no option left except to run and hide from their problems (Swindoll, 1997, p.74; Epp, 1965, p.56). Psalm 57 indicates that not only were they hiding, but they were angry and wanting vengeance on those they felt had wronged them�. Keller (1985, pp. 120,121) suggests that it was in living with these oppressed outcasts that David developed his compassion for those living under oppression.
