Good morning,
David is a larger than life character in the Bible. A shepherd, warrior, musician, fugitive, king, adulterer, murderer, liar, repentant sinner, and sweet psalmist of Israel.
The next few weeks we will be looking at the people David interacted with. Goliath, Saul, Bathsheba, Nathan, and God. Then we will look at the consequences of his sin.
Each week we will begin with a bio of the individual interacting with David. Then the Biblical account.
David takes Bathsheba as his wife (2 Samuel 11:26-27)
26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
David’s problem began when he failed to be where God wanted him. He was the King and should have been with his men at the battle. If he was there, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
What happens next began in the Garden of Eden and we are susceptible to Satan’s temptation today. We see something, covet it, and take it. Then we must cover our tracks. However, God sees everything. Proverbs 15:3 states, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” So we will be found out. And as we will see later in the week, sin has consequences.
CAUTION:
If you are supposed to be at a particular place, for the service of God, be there. Satan wants to distract you from anything to do with God. When he does then he can tempt you to do evil.
