What was he thinking?

This great warrior-worshiper who composed songs and verses we quote and spiritually survive on … and he succumbs to the carnal temptation to commit adultery with the wife of one of his trusted soldiers. Our present day sex scandals have NOTHING on this escapade.

This is a classic example of how one sin leads to another … to another etc. The massive cover-up David executed only brought more shame and collateral damage to the original deed.

We think we’re so smart.

The smart thing to do is confess and come clean ASAP!

PRAYER: Father, deliver us from the snares of sin … the traps of the Evil One. Keep us close to You and fill us with temptation-resisting grace, especially in the weak moments.
