David Confronted by Nathan & Reaps First Judgment

The LORD now sends His prophet to tell the king that he has sinned. For months David labored under the weight of his sin and had it not been for the LORD he would have never repented. But finally David confesses, 'I have sinned.' How long sometimes the child of God will travel down sin's barren road and through this dry, desert wilderness, and but for the grace of God he would continue so. But the Lord in His abundant mercy grants him repentance.
