Adapted from “God, be merciful to me, On Thy grace I rest my plea” Psalter; Refrain by Joseph Addison To have a Nathan is good for us. Where might David have gone in his unrighteous sovereignty if God had not loved him and sent him Nathan the prophet? Our ‘Nathan’ may be alive or departed (verbal or written) but God corrects the course of His saints - always! In fact, we are illegitimate if He doesn’t (Heb. 12:3 ff) Then, when we have been corrected, how sweet is our fellowship with God, with a renewed heart, willing spirit and being filled by the Spirit!? So we gladly rest our plea on God’s grace, because we know the outcome is good. Let’s confess our sin (yes, that one too), and know the abundant mercy of God - and give thanks.

The songs of Regulative Heart are curated, adapted and produced by Greg Pearson of Tennessee. Greg has served the Lord’s church in various roles over the last 44 years, including Pastor, Minister of Music, Student Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Elder in a Reformed Baptist Church. After suffering a debilitating stroke in December 2021, limiting his ability to continue to serve in those roles, Greg has turned his attention to bringing these important songs, in various musical styles, to as many of God’s people as possible. Now, in partnership with Monergism.com, Greg is in the process of writing a short devotional intro for each song as you will find each week in the Monergism.com blog.
