I love those words. I mean, I REALLY love them? Why because they tell me I am not the only one. I am not the only one that gets "in over his head" "because of his sin." I am a card-carrying perfectionist, and make no apologies for that fact. At the same time, however, I do think God really had something to prove by laying the burden and message of perfection on MY heart!
Me? A sinner? A "REAL sinner? "No joke" sinner? Why not choose some guy that has his life together. Some guy than can get and keep a job for at least a year? Why choose me? Well, he also chose David. And David was a broken man. And David got in over his head "because of his sin." That threatens to bring tears to my eyes.
"Lord, I thank thee for David, and for his root and offspring, who found himself in over his head because of MY sin - because of OUR sin! Make me grateful, and us. Make me perfect, and us. In Jesus' name (speaking of the "root and offspring of David"), amen."
