David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die!
Nathan told David a story of injustice. David was angry, but Nathan tells him, "You are the man!" (v.7) because of his affair with Bathsheba and murder of her husband. Sometimes we get so angry at something we think is wrong, when the truth is we have done so much worse. Righteous indignation is rarely right.
Lord, thank you for helping us to see our flaws. Please help us to remember our own sin before pointing out the sin of another. Amen.
