Bible Question (short): David's account |
Question (full): Hey there Mommapbs! I know it's been a long time but I did want to get back with you on the accound of David. I went and read 2 Sam 12. Proverbs says 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue' and in v.5, David pronounces death to the man in Nathan's story. In v.13 Nathan told David that the LORD had put his sin away and he would not die. 'Howbeit, because by this deed, he gave great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child born shall surely die'. v.16 says David 'besought GOD for the child'. It does not tell us in this verse what David asked of GOD. After reading v.22, I will say that I make the assumption that David asked for the child to live. Now, let me go back to v.14. The LORD's judgment had already been given: 'the child also born unto thee shall surely die'. In this case, David had GOD's word on the matter. In our case, as born again believers and children of Jehoviah, the LORD that heals thee. What word from HIM do we have on the matter of physical healing? Thanks again for listening and may our Father richly bless you as you dwell in the secret place of The Most High. Your sister in Christ! |
