2 Samuel 11:2
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful,
2 Samuel 11:4
Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, July 13, DEEP FALLING (II Sam. 11:2, 4). It was really amazing, when we read this chapter and knew how deep David fell in sin. He fell deeply and quickly. He fell just like a roller coaster. Why?
a. Misused his authority.
He as the top leader, the king, he should not use his authority to do sinful things. He asked Joab to send back Uriah home. He asked Joab to put Uriah at the most dangerous front ib war. He asked Batsheba to come. Who dared to refuse his command?
b. Misused his prosperity.
He could use his wealth to build a higher wall or more secluded partition between his porch and her bathroom or else. He could do many things with his wealth to protect him and her to do sin.
c. Msused his seniority.
Actually, he as a senior, as an older man, he could advice his junior, Bathsheba, to be more careful in taking a bath. He could helped her to protect her dignity. He shouldn’t forget, that, all the people just like his children. How can an older person did such a horrible sin like that? So, let’s be more careful in life. ASH.
