“But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.” - 2 Samuel 11:27c
King David was called a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22), yet he was still prone to sin as he did when he took another man’s wife for himself and had her husband killed. The thing he had done displeased God. How would you like to have that said of you? I know I wouldn’t, yet I am sure there have been times in my life when it was said in the heavens that God wasn’t pleased with me. There are consequences for every decision we make in this life. In David’s case the son born of Bathsheba as a result of their relations died. David was distraught and wished to take the place of his infant son, but God ruled justly and took the life of the child. What does our sin cause to take place in our lives? Have you ever considered this? There is a distinct reason why we are to follow the word of God in thought, word and deed. Our lives are the better for it, for while we think we know how to live rightly we absolutely do not. When left to our own devices we choose poorly the majority of the time. Surrender to the will of God and live victoriously. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
