Christian

I'm going to stay.

And he says, get out.

Okay, I was about to bring this up because I have a thought on this and we're about to be out of time.

And so I want to read this first and then maybe we can pick this up on the next one because I think this is a good transition.

So this Psalm 12, 13, when the child dies, I mean, this is just incredibly sad and also one of the most powerful verses I think in this.

And I've read is, so, you know, he says this Nathan, God, David says, or Nathan says, you know, David, you won't die.

David is fasting for, you know, the child is, you know, wanting him to live.

And then he gets to this point where the child dies and David stops fasting, goes to eat.

And it says, and the servant said to him, what is this thing you have done?

For the sake of the living child, you fasted and wept.

But when the child was dead, you rose and ate food.

And he said, and David said, while the child was still alive, I fasted and wept.

For I thought, who knows?

The Lord may find favor in me and the child will live.

And now that he is dead, why should I fast?

Can I bring him back again?

I'm going to him and he will not come back to me.

And you see this, I think this one, David's trust of God before and after in the fasting and partitioning God, but then this like acceptance of that God is going to do what he wants to do.

Yeah.

And after this moment, this like almost kind of giving up of David.
