The Parable of Nathan
(2 Samuel 12)
David was the king
Nathan in the court
Prophet, one of what had once been
The ruling group
Nathan told David about
Someone rich with money, lands,
And livestock
Who stole the one sheep of
His neighborhood to have
A feast of mutton
Who is this thief and murderer of
Law and goodness,
The monarch demanded
Nathan taught
He prophesied a lesson
Timeless truth to borrowed power
(Which is all the power there
Is)
This thief of God’s provision
Nathan said to David,
It is you

Surprise lol. Revealing moment for David indeed. I have a brother named Nathan as a side note. Those who know him well like his family call him Nath. Because I was his sister I used to call him Nathie. I did once when he was at high school with friends. He was so embarrassed I made sure just to call him Nath since then. Although unlike more than ten years go, I don’t think he’d care if I called him Nathie now.
Happy to see you on here again. How are you feeling? How’s life?
