Week 3 Reflection Questions:
Monday:
This chapter holds a sad story of adultery and murder that ends (in another chapter) with a powerful lesson. Bathsheba was bathing and David watched but it didn't stop there. He coveted her although she was married and took her for himself. Although he tried to hide his sins, even attempted to cover them up, it is recorded for all to see in the Bible. (We love the scripture for this reason - it tells the faults as well as the accolades of those God favored. David acted out of lust and sinned before the Lord - who sees all.
God allows us free will, to act as we want. If we follow His plan we will be rewarded by his grace, if we stray we will suffer the consequences. How do you follow God's plan?

Tuesday: 2 Samuel 12
Word of Conviction - "I am that man"
Word of Confession - "I have sinned against the Lord"
Word of Consequence - "Never the less...consequences to work with and work through"
The Parable of Nathan illuminates David's sin. He is then punished when Bathsheba conceives a child that is not her husbands, but Davids. David acknowledged his sins and repented. By the grace of God, he was given God's mercy.
(Self Reflect) What do you need to acknowledge and repent for?
Wednesday: 2 Samuel 13
Adultery and murder were David's sins. In this chapter, it appears as though his sins have spread among his children, whom he loves dearly. Amnon defiled Tamar (his sister) then Absalom murdered Amnon (his brother) because of his misdeeds with Tamar. As if that weren't tragic enough it is David who sent Tamar to Amnon and then Amnon to Absalom acting as an accessory to both sins. He can't help but feel like this is punishment for his own sins, that his bad example drove his children to sin. What kind of example do you portray to those around you? To your children? To your spouse?
Thursday: 2 Samuel 14
This chapter is where we see the end of David's lesson, which ultimately ends with Forgiveness. Absalom removed himself from David's protection, was exiled for his sins. Joab works to absolve Absalom of his crimes and works for him to be pardoned and have his banishment revoked. He takes many steps to bring forth David, the King's, compassion and concession, ultimately cultivating forgiveness so that David and Absalom could be brought back together. Who do you need to forgive?
Friday: 2 Samuel 15
Absalom received peace with his father (David) yet proves to be his father's greatest trouble. In this chapter, Absalom's rebellion begins. He has been forgiven and re-established in David's court but wants more - he covets the throne for himself. He isn't content and therefore ungrateful. What are you grateful for?
