We’re re-airing this listener-favorite today! Dot and Cara explore how King David’s quickness to recognize and address his sins provides an example for our own walk with God. Though known as shepherd, warrior, and king, David’s life was characterized by humility, confession, and repentance. Don’t we all want to be like David- a people after God’s own heart? Pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee and join us as we revisit what David’s story teaches us about our relationship with our heavenly Father.

Scripture Verse: Psalm 61:104

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
