Reading through the story of David again this week has been a blessing and also a challenge. It has been a challenge because I just read this like a month ago and now I am reading it again. This means I tend to read it faster and skim over parts that I already now. This makes the reading less beneficial and transformational for me. But the blessing of reading the same story again from a different point of view also allows different aspects to be noticed. In the reading today I noticed something different from when I read it in 2 Samuel. In the reading today I noticed something new that I had never noticed before. When God talks He uses personal pronouns; I, my, and mine. When David talks to God, he uses different pronouns; you, yours, and our. This tells me that everything including the life and kingdom of David, is God’s. While David also knows that he has no control and God is in complete control of everything.
Listen to yourself next time you talk, are you using personal pronouns or are you using the language od David?
