Day 182..."David commits adultery and then even worse...Jesus is mocked"

David had a great kingdom. He wanted Bathsheba. Bathsheba had a husband. David slept with Bathsheba anyway. He then orchestrated Uriah's (Bathsheba's husband) assignment to the front line where he would surely be killed. He was. Nathan called his hand through telling a story of greed. David would repent as we have already read in Psalms 51. Ecclesiastes has two good quotes today..."Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind." Quiet is not all bad. Also about teamwork..."Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" Jesus is a King but no one prior to the resurrection knows what kind of King...He is sentenced to the cross and mocked about being a King.
