Want so much to ‘see’ in 11&12 a red flag or reason for David’s doing what he did. There’s not anything specific or glaring....just a guy who stopped ‘inquiring of the Lord’ and went for what he wanted.
And the lesson of his quick repentance, his remembering where it all lay, where it all comes from for him…..
Psalm 51: 16-17 Going through the motions doesn't please you, a flawless performance is nothing to you. I learned God-worship when my pride was shattered. Heart-shattered lives ready for love don't for a moment escape God's notice.
And then Jesus talking to the teachers / leaders/ interpreters of religious law…..
Coming back to……Matthew 11: 28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

That's what it's about.....
walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. So much hope....
