Hymn 11 (Tune 13): A
Returned Heart
·
God
had chosen David but that did not mean that he would be without faults
·
David
was a “man after God’s own heart”, although at the same time he did many things
that were wrong, as well as things that would be repugnant to us today!
·
Like
all descendants of Adam (except for Jesus) David was subject to the influence
of Satan who attracts the evil within us and causes us to sin
·
David
was tried by God, and sometimes failed badly, but through these trials he was
refined by God as an example to give us hope
·
Each
of us will be tried in our own lives as God refines us to remove the evil from
within us
·
Those
faithfully waiting for Jesus Christ have the hope to be refined in spirit and
soul and body and enter in life eternal at His return.
Hymn 122 (Tune 123): Our
Own Nature - The Biggest Challenge!
