Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with David's

attitude towards death as we pick up in 2nd Samuel chapter 12 first 19.

And now with today's message here's Pastor Chuck.

He heard the servants whispering and he said, is the child dead?

And they said, yes.

David got up, went in, took a shower, dressed himself, fresh clothes, came out, and he ordered dinner.

They said, man, we don't understand you.

While the child was sick you're lying there

groaning not eating

filthy

now that the child is dead you've showered and you want to eat you want a dinner

what's going on and he said as long as the child was alive I had hope that God might be gracious and spare the child's life, but now that

the child is dead, I can't do anything more.
