David was living with quite a secret, and God had something to say about that.
We all know the story of David and Bathsheba. Many still, know the great lengths that David went to in order to keep it a secret. Too often we forget that amid all of the secrecy, God knew what David was doing. He sent Nathan to inform David of his sin, but it wasn't that simple. Nathan had to address a king. Speaking up was now a matter of life and death.
