“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16).
The three elements mentioned in our verse today are all found in the sin committed by Bathsheba and David. They are the same elements that cause us to sin as well. We can say it will never happen to us. We are close to God and commune with Him daily. Though you could say this about David, when faced with lust and pride, he caved in. Be grounded in the Word so you can fight against the devil. The Word is our best weapon when we find ourselves in a compromising situation. The things mentioned in our verse are used to get you to yield to temptation. Draw ever closer to God; He can give you strength to overcome the things of this world.
