3. BATHSHEBA – THE CONFESSION


3. BATHSHEBA – THE CONFESSION

 

SEEK GOD’S WORD FOR TRUTH

Read the following passage:

 

2 SAMUEL 12:1-13A

 

How does the Lord confront David?

 

 

How does David view the man in the story?

 

 

What do you think Nathan had to bluntly tell David, “You are that man!”?

 

 

As God lays bare the extent of David’s sin, what does he say will happen to David’s house and why?

 

 

What further consequences will befall David’s family?

 

 

What is David’s confession?

 

 

 

FIND GOD’S WAYS FOR YOU

 

Remember a time when someone confronted you about your actions or words or choices. How did you respond or react and why?

 

 

 

How quickly do you recognize sin in your life?

 

 

 

What kind of consequences are you living with because of your own wrong choices or the wrong choices of someone close to you?

 

 

When you face your own sin, do you hide it, handle it, or confess it?

 

 

 

STOP AND PONDER

 

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
      test me and know my anxious thoughts.
 Point out anything in me that offends you,
      and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

PSALM 138:23-24

What do you need to confess to God right now?
