LEAP2 Launching End-time Apostolic Prophets & People

Was David blind with pride or something else?

Proverbs 21:2-4 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. A high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

David obviously knew what he had done. Even when Nathan came to him and laid the situation before him, he failed to see himself in it. God could have shown mercy but I believe because he was so oblivious and lacked mercy himself, God allowed him to execute the just judgement on himself.

It appears David had a heart issue not one related to judgement. Often times we can rightly judge a matter at face value but miss the heart reflection.

We often cry out Psalm 139:23-24; I believe when David wrote that, he had had an humbling experience and realized the importance of having a pure heart and clean hands along with good judgment.
