" David’s life is example enough of what it is to live in a broken world. He experienced the
clashing of private grief and public duty. He knew deceit and turmoil, heartache, struggling.
But he also knew how to cling to God, how to trust in God and how to worship God. There is
nothing that ever catches God by surprise since He knows everything (omniscient) and sees
everything. Our entire life is laid open bare before God, as was David's. God already knows
about the 'mess­ups' and shortcomings that will cause us to stumble. It is our repentant
attitude that makes all the difference. "
