And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; -2 Samuel 12:7
Good morning and happy hump day to you!
The story referenced in the scripture involves King David being confronted about a sin he thought was hidden. Was the king offended because he was told he was wrong? Certainly, but only for a moment. He measured his offense by how angry he became when he believed someone else had sinned. We often do the same.
The scripture says, "Be angry, but do not sin," indicating that no one likes being told they are wrong. Offense is a natural reaction to having one's feelings hurt, but can you be offended and still be righteous? This is where the grace of humility comes in. We must acknowledge the frailty of our sinful nature and place our hope in Christ alone.
