Please read 2 Samuel 11.

Meditate on verses 11a, c and 27b.
Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to
battle,
that David stayed at Jerusalem.
But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Keep in mind that David is merely a foreshadowing picture of
Messiah; he is NOT Jesus. In fact, parts
of his life are the reason Jesus came to the earth; to die for his sins...and
your sins…and my sins…
Learn well from 2 Samuel 11, and let the LORD use His Truths
to keep you from sinning. Observe the
path of sin David took:
·
David stayed home instead of fighting with his
men (v. 1). Where does God want
you? Stay in the trenches of God’s will,
prayerfully fighting spiritual battles.
·
David was bored at home, so he went looking for
something to interest him (v. 2). Are
you busy doing the LORD’s work? It will
keep you from doing and looking at things you shouldn’t.
·
David asked about the bathing woman (v. 3). Do not even inquire about the forbidden. Entertaining sinful ideas opens the door to
disaster.
·
David sent for Bathsheba, took her, and slept
with her (v. 4). Stop yourself before it
is too late. Ask the LORD not to let sin
be accomplished in your life.
·
David’s sin resulted in the murder of Uriah, one
of his mighty men (v. 21; 2 Samuel 23:39).
Sin always ends in death. Do not let
it deceive you!
Pray 2 Samuel 11:27b to begin a prayer of confession to God.
“LORD, the thing that have I have done is evil in Your sight.
Forgive me by Your sacrifice, Jesus~”
