Read the Bible in a Year This morning read Second Samuel 12 and 13 The Courage of Nathan After David committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband killed, God sent Nathan the prophet to David to show that the Lord knew about the whole thing, and that God was taking action against David for it. Nathan presents a parable that got David to see the sinfulness of taking that which is not yours. Once David made that acknowledgement, here is what happened, 7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man..." (2 Sam. 12:7). Nathan knew that David was a mighty warrior, that he had just ordered a man killed, and that David could continue to do these things. Nevertheless, Nathan went in the boldness of God and told David what needed to be said. May we all learn to have the boldness of Nathan.
