The world says that women should be a certain way, but it is usually the exact opposite of what God says. God says that women shouldn't chase after and be consumed with the favor of the world or with beauty but instead with fearing the Lord. So many promises and blessings are to those that fear the Lord.

After David's sin with Bathsheba he was told that their newborn son would die. So David fasted and prayed for seven days until the baby died, and after the baby died he washed himself, worshiped God, and resumed eating. Everyone was confused. Doesn't he have it backward? Shouldn't he be grieving worse after the baby dies? But David did this because of things he was uncertain of and things he was assured of.

When Jesus watched the people around him selecting the best things and places of honor for themselves, he taught the lesson that this kind of pride will be brought low. Instead we should choose the lowest possible options for ourselves and let others give us better things if they so choose. And even if they don't, God will exalt us in due time.

Paul gives principles for giving to the poor, here the Christians in the church at Jerusalem. God never expects anyone to give what they don't have but to give from what they do have. Everyone has something, and God can take it, even if it is very little, and do great things with it.

David had sinned with Bathsheba and was living apart from God for months, but when God through Nathan the prophet confronted him with his sin, he was repentant and received mercy and forgiveness from God. However, this forgiveness did not mean a removal of consequences. David dealt with the repercussion of his sin for decades, and we need to know the value of abstaining from sin as well as seeking forgiveness for sin.

It may be handy to have a tool that can do many things at once or a smart phone that can replace many other things, but how much greater to have a God that can do anything? David knew God as his everything, and we can too.

The believers in Macedonia were asked to give to struggling believers in Jerusalem, and they did even though they were themselves afflicted and in deep poverty. They did it because of their joy, the joy of salvation. If we have this joy, there is no hurdle we won't jump over for God. The joy of Jesus also held him to the cross and caused him to lay his life down for us, the joy of us being saved and being with him in heaven forever. That is the power of joy.

Just like a wrecked but then repaired car with a salvage title is never quite the same, so David's life was never quite the same after his sin with Bathsheba. He would be forgiven by God but carry the consequences for the rest of his life. The progression of his sin was to be alone, be tempted, take what didn't belong to him, cover it up, discover that God knew about it, and suffer judgment. God always knows.

The most important thing in all the world for the Jewish elite of Jesus' day was to hold on to the limited power and station in life they enjoyed. They would do anything to sustain it, including attacking anyone that stood in their way and covering up any truths that threatened it. The irony is that they lost it anyway. We need to trust in God and follow his will and not seek to hold on to the things of the world.
