2 Sam 11-12
David and Bathsheba.
What Daivd did displeases the Lord. 12:8 And I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight?
What went wrong. David was not fighting when it was time for kings to be fighting. He stood outside. Nothing wrong, He saw Batsheba, nothing wrong. Bathsheba bath outside. David saw. Well nothing David can do.
But the problem starts becasue David choose not to stop there.
There are many temptations, but are they beyond what we can bear. Joseph did the right thing, he remove himself away from the source of temptation. But the greatest is this Joseph, so that he may not sin against the Lord.
David recognised that he has sin against the Lord. But has already given in.
Lord, as for me rid me of sins so that I may not sin against you. I am not perfect, the temptations are not perfect, but I should not give in and test how much I can take them.
