Day 180..."Instead of a house of prayer a prayer about a house...Peter's loyalty and fickleness"

The Lord tells Nathan to tell David to build a house of cedar. The house is accompanied with a beautiful prayer..." And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.” David proclaims the awesomeness of God..."Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you." David found favor with the Lord as the phrase is repeated..."And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went." David is living a blessed life. Ecclesiastes is a little different to read but the straightforward teaching is similar to the Proverbs..."Then I saw that there is more gain in wisdom than in folly, as there is more gain in light than in darkness. The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness." John describes the arrest of Jesus including a story of Peter cutting off the soilders ear. Jesus commands him to put his sword down. This is the same Peter who will deny Jesus only a few hours later. We see in Peter a loyalty and fickleness, bravery and cowardness, one who is committed and a defector...all in one person. If one of the Lord's disciples was so fickle...is it any wonder humankind struggles over these same issues?
