God was merciful to David. And He will be merciful to you and me today. I had a fellow—I’d heard him speak down in Pershing Square years ago, deriding and ridiculing the Bible. I saw him in church one Sunday evening when I was pastoring in downtown Los Angeles. After service he came up to me and he says, “Preacher, I have a question to ask you. Why did God choose a man like David?” I said, “I’ll tell you why God chose a man like David. So that you and I would be able to come to Him. Because if God will take David, He might take you and He might take me.” And I said, “That’s the reason.” The “sure mercies of David”—how wonderful they are.
