It Begins with a Cold Heart
“So David said to Nathan, ‘I have sinned against the LORD.’ And Nathan said to David, ‘The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die. However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.’”
2 Samuel 12:13-14

Ponder This
David was a great sinner, but he became a great repenter. He confessed, “I have sinned against the LORD.” But Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.” God is serious about your life. He wants you to live a righteous and holy life. David’s problem was the coldness of his heart. That’s where it began.
God may be calling you to renew your vows to Jesus and say, “I haven’t committed adultery. I haven’t killed anybody. But I don’t love you like I used to. I’ve been lazy. I’ve been idle. I’ve had unguarded strength. It may be a double weakness.” He's made you for a life walking with Him. Don’t resist Him today.
- How would you assess your faith now? Where are you passionate for God? Where have you grown cold?
- What does it look like to walk in holiness with God? What parts of that feel difficult for you?
Practice This
Reflect on your life of faith and consider your walk with God. Be honest with God in prayer about where you have become cold.
