The steps of a good man are ordered (established) by the Lord, and He delights in His way. Though He fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23,24
The steps of a good man are ordered (established) by the Lord, and He delights in His way. Though He fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23,24
In God's kingdom there are no good and bad men, only saved and forgiven men and if they fall, they will not be forsaken. King David was a good man, a man after God's own heart, the sweet psalmist of Israel, and mighty warrior of God! But he fell into sin!
David was a man like us although one of the greatest military commanders in the history of the world, he was open to be tempted by the devil! One season he declined to go to war being what I believe as burned out! Too much war, too much conflict with His father-in-law, Saul and maybe even too many wives!
One night on his porch he was enamored with his next-door neighbor's wife, Bathsheba bathing nude in full view of his balcony. The moment the devil had dreamed of finally came to pass and David couldn't stand it any longer and had her brought to his bed chamber. In an instant of lustful desire, he was about to ruin his life by committing adultery and when she became pregnant, he had her husband Uriah murdered!
I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. Psalm 37:25
