While we may not have done the same sins as David, we have fallen short and needed to reproof from someone close to us. We need a Nathan to remind us that God has blessed us with many blessings so we don’t covet. We need a Nathan to encourage us to live righteous and pure lives that are untainted by worldly living. We need a Nathan so our hearts don’t become full of pride and selfishness because of our spiritual or financial increase.

Being an active part of the body of Christ gives us much exposure. We are exposed of our own shortcomings as well as those of other people. A true Nathan in our lives won’t look to judge us too harshly or quickly because they are always aware of their own faults. Yet they love us too much to let us wander in the darkness of sin.

Prayer

I pray for people in my life who will encourage me to keep my eyes on Christ and not the things of this world. Amen.

In His Service,
