2. Master — God’s holiness demands our submission (8‑15).
• At first, David resisted submission (8‑11).
• Yet God is both worthy of submission and abundantly forgiving (12).
• So David began again — this time doing things God’s way (13‑15).
Action: Ask yourself, “Have you stopped fully submitting to God in some area of your life?”

• True worship is directed to the LORD yet shared with others (17‑19).
• David’s worship was not for self‑promotion or appearances (16, 20, 22).
• His desire was simple: to give honor to God alone (21).
Action: Evaluate your worship — are you giving it exclusively to God?
