DAVID COULD NOT AFFORD TO LOSE THE REATIONSHIP WITH GOD

I get amazed with the relationship between David and God.It seems they understood each other very well i should say. The way David responded to God's desciplining and corrections and even the way God kept favouring David. Saul was cut off from God when he offered a sacrifice to God taking the position of Samuel the prophet without authorisation, he thought he had the power just to do anything 1Samuel 3v9.He was then rejected by God together with his descendants, they could not take on his leadership. We hear he tried to plead with God but who knows it did not come from his heart because God can probe the heart or he was forgiven but God did not want his kingship to continue. David had some weaknesses too just like any other human being. He killed Uriah after committing adultery with his wife. God rebuked him through Nathan, the prophet. The woman Bathsheba became pregnant and got married to David. Their son became very ill, David fasted for seven days but the son died. David did not get angry with God, he knew he deserved the punishment, he went to the tabernacle and worshiped him. This act amazed the elders who thought he will put on sack cloth. The other amazing thing is that the second son of David with Bathsheba was Solomon who later became the wise king.

WHY IS DAVID BEING FAVOURED?

It could be because he repented from deep down his heart and also may be his habit of worshiping got him always closer to God. David knew where he was before becoming a king, he knew that the secret of his success was God. he could not afford to lose contact with him who took him from the bush. He had to repent and reconcile with God to get connected to him all the time. God hears the true repentance, infact that is what he is always waiting from us, just like the story of the PRODIGAL SON, the father was always waiting for the son to return. David was the worshiper, he worshiped God like he is not a king according to Michal his wife. She saw David through the window dancing, praising God in the middle of his servants. She says she was embrassed the way David was dancing. He told her he can do anything for God and his throne will still be there.By the way Michal became barren all her life because of her careless comments and dishonouring God. David was worshiping in the way that it touched God's heart. He did not care what people will say. The Lord loved David and promised him to be a father to him, correcting and desciplining him with a rod like any father will do. This father/son type of relationship is what we should really aim for. I always say if God is desciplining me it means he sees a posibility of me becoming a better person. He still regards me as his child, he has not disowned me, he is concerned about me. He is correcting me because he has not given up on me. Therefore i should keep on worshiping God no matter the situation. The other God news is that we have an advocate, Jesus, who intercedes for us above in heaven, he pleads for us to say i died for them, pardon them. This means brethren our prayers agrees with the intercessions offered by Jesus above. May be that is why we get answers to some things before even praying for them. This is amazing!
