Was the rest of David's life a wash-out because he sinned. Absolutely NOT! God still used him. David began the preparation of the new temple, the temple his son Solomon was to construct. I found it interesting that David paid 50 shekels for the threshing floor...the same amount that Lev 27:1-3 tells us was the value to be placed on a man between the age of 20 and 60 being dedicated to the Lord. hmmmmm.......
David's dream would come true. His son, Solomon would carry out the construction. Solomon, the son of David and Bathsheba. David lived a long full life with riches and honor. God's grace is sufficient, isn't it!
I hope you have enjoyed this study! :)

Prayer is a bloody battleground! It is where victories are won! A place to die to self! A place where a holy God exposes secret sin! No wonder Satan tries to hinder prayer! A praying man sends a shudder through hell. That man or woman is marked because Satan knows prayer is the power that crushes his kingdom. Satan is not afraid of power-hungry saints, but he trembles at the sound of a praying saint!
WHAT A GLORIOUS FUTURE JUST AHEAD! The church He will return to!
A purged, purified ministry!
A Church that God is calling back to repentance and holiness.
A people washed, cleansed - offering praises in true righteousness.
A revival among our young people! Drug strongholds coming down! Alchohol and divorce no longer prevalent among God's people.
The sound of prayer-intercession!
A people of God who will discern between the holy and the unholy!
Everywhere, God's people turning again to the Word.
A tested, tried people, once again devoted to the Person of Jesus Christ!
His Person being lifted up to draw all men to Him!
Christ no longer the stranger in our midst, but CROWNED - PRE-EMINENT!
A Pentecost that truly exalts the name and power of Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.
