IMAGINE HOW DAVID FELT?


HE WAS CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE KING. THE SCRIPTURES TELL US THAT HE
HAD A HEART THAT SOUGHT AFTER GOD, A PASSION FOR THE THINGS OF
GOD.
THE LORD WAS HIS SHEPHERD AND SUPPLIED ALL HIS NEEDS. MORE
BEAUTIFUL WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN WRITTEN THAN THE 23RD PSALM AND
GOD INSPIRED THEM IN DAVID'S HEART.

Psalm 51:11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy
Spirit from me.

OFF.

HIS HONEST REQUEST?


Psalm 51:1 Have mercy on me, O ...
