How do we respond when we are treated unjustly? Our natural response is anger and vengeance. God’s people must be marked in a different way. In this passage, the voice of God comes to David from an unusual source. When confronted with God’s Word, he will extend forgiveness, trust God, and move forward in faithfulness. It is a powerful and relevant lesson for all of us as we seek to imitate King Jesus. The ability to extend forgiveness and trust God must be a defining mark of those who follow Christ.
