“And David sent messengers and took her, and she came unto him, and he lay with her…” (2 Samuel 11:4a).
It’s one thing to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but with David, his staying in Jerusalem went from lust to adultery and finally the demise of Bathsheba’s husband Uriah. Sin is likened to a cancerous sore. What starts out as something so small can grow into something you won’t be able to live with any more. You can banish the discouragement within yourself by breaking the cycle of sin. By the power of a loving God, you can find joy and peace once again.
