My Revelation for today

David was a weak and inwardly torn man. He knew he was one step away from sin. He committed a grievous murder in order to commit grievous adultery. Yet David did not allow his weakness to destroy his relationship with God. He did not hide from God, but ran right to Him in repentance (Ps. 51). Astonishingly, God was pleased with him and called him a "man after God's own heart," because he understood the heart of God - that God was for him, even in his weakness and sin. God can deal with our sin, but not with the pretense we often put up, like Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5.
