Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • David says four words and Nathan says the sin is gone. What is God like?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • David is forgiven and there are still consequences. Are those the same thing?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What do you need to say to God, in four honest words, this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who thinks God is still angry with them? What will you tell them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, the moment David said 'I have sinned,' Nathan told him you had taken it away. Thank you that you do not make people grovel.
