—2 Samuel 7:18-22
by: Susan Bond.
When David asked, "What more can David say to You?" he was addressing the sovereign Lord. Our three-year-old grandson Christopher has a way of speaking in the third person when he finds himself in trouble. An example: having hosed down the kitchen from ceiling to floor, drenching everything on the counters as well, he asked his wide-eyed mommy, "What did Chris do?" She figures he is divorcing himself from responsibility this way.
What if we adopted Christopher's approach, not to avoid the consequences of our sins, but to gain perspective of who is in control?
