Background
The Psalm’s title reads: “To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.” This refers to the record in II Samuel 11:1—12:23 where David took Bathsheba and was confronted by Nathan. Perhaps Psalm 51 is what David thought or prayed when he “fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth” (II Samuel 12:16).
Examples We Will Study in This Series
The Book of Genesis sets a foundation to life, including love and marriage. As the Author of His Word, God gives us great examples of men and women who were married. The Bible clearly shows that marriage is for one man and one woman who both love God first. These couples made lots of mistakes, just like we do in our marriages. But they trusted God and He was able to help them overcome the evil and negatives facing them.
This series will show some of the positive benefits to marriage. It will also show how married couples believed to carry out God’s will in their lives, and how that has blessed mankind for centuries.
