1 Chronicles 29

The conclusion of David's story (again). In verses 10-20, David prays to God, and it was an amazing prayer. It was only the first or second time in 1 Chronicles that I really got a feel for and liked him. I prefer the David story from 2 Samuel. In that one, the writer admits to many of David's mistakes; David seems like a real person to me, one who longs for God but who also falters and sins. Who doesn't, really? And since David is one of the people written about the most in the Bible, we get to hear a lot about him, and his sins--with Bathsheba and Uriel, the census, his handling of his sons--but we also get to hear about God's forgiveness of him, every time.
