Bible in 90 Days- David and Bathsheeba

Today's reading included the story of David and Bathsheeba.  I'm always impressed by several things in this story, but this is what spoke to me today.  It is in 2 Samuel 12:     ²⁴David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went to her and lay with her; and she bore a son, and she called his name Solomon. And the Lord loved [the child];

    ²⁵He sent [a message] by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and [Nathan] called the boy's [special] name Jedidiah [beloved of the Lord], because the Lord [loved the child].

Now David had sinned with Bathsheeba, committing adultery and then murdering her husband.  Their's was not a relationship established on very good things.  But, out of their union- not from any of David's other wives comes Solomon, the son of wisdom, the son through whom the kingly line would continue.  And his special name was Jedidiah, beloved of the Lord.  

God can take our frailties and failings and carry out His plan and His purpose.  That's good news!
