MFM DEVOTIONAL 17TH JANUARY 2024 𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕊𝔸𝔾𝔼:
Today, we want to begin a study on the life of one of the finest Bible characters, Prophet Nathan. He was a prophet during the reigns of King David and King Solomon.
In 2 Samuel 7:1-3, when David discussed his intention to build a temple of worship for God with him, the Bible records this: “And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.” But later that day, the word of God came to Nathan and told him that David’s intention was not in line with the divine plan. The divine plan was for his son to build the temple.
Earlier, in the morning, Nathan must have probably spoken based on emotional excitements and also as a result of the good relationship between him and the king. Note that not every good idea is God’s idea; so we need to be careful. Nathan had made a mistake. Wasn’t he a prophet of God? Definitely, he was a divine oracle that interpreted the heart of God to kings.
We all sometimes make mistakes. Samuel, a prophet of God of no mean status, also made the same mistake when he thought Eliab was surely the Lord’s anointed. But God intercepted him and told him Eliab wasn’t His choice.
The response of Nathan in this scenario has a whole lot to teach us. When God’s word came to him, he wasn’t ashamed to admit his limitations and correct his error. In verse 17, he humbly went back to show David the true counsel of God as against what he earlier predicted. Making mistakes is not the issue; the real issue is how we respond when we are confronted about our mistakes.
When King Saul was confronted about his error, he was too egoistic to admit it. He was more concerned about public opinion than how God feels and that led to his undoing. How do you handle issues when you realise that you have made a mistake? Do you seek to cover it up or do you admit and make your ways right with God and man? I advise you to take a cue from Prophet Nathan.
