i was just wondering what it would be like if my life were written in the Bible! cos i was just imagining myself as David, and almost every little detail of his life is recorded in the Bible and analysed by commentaries.
there was one part that showed that David did not kill his enemy who betrayed him even when he could have sentenced him to die. you may think that thats so noble of him and all! but in the commentary, it says that David didnt fully forgive his enemy (cross-referenced to somewhere else in the bible!)
I was also looking at how repentant David was over his one sin with Bathsheba. and how he wrote so many psalms just lamenting over that sin and begging for forgiveness. and how he just kept accepting punishment which he deemed was from the Lord because of his sin. its so amazing how humble he is...
then i was just pondering what i would have been known as in the bible. in 2 sam 20, there was a "worthless man, whos name was Sheba". haha made be laugh to myself, but i wonder what brought the author to call him worthless? ok sure he did betray David, but worthless sounds so harsh! im not questioning God's judgement in calling him worthless, but im just wondering where do i stand in Bible terms... kinda scares me :S
some reflection points: Do my actions show that I am a true follower of God? Am I truly on the Lord's army, or does my loyalty switch as and when it is convenient for me?
