He was the head of the government
He decided to have an affair
He got the woman pregnant
He used his office to cover up his crime
Part of that crime was killing his best friend the husband of the woman he had the affair with
He did not repent and kept the woman for life.
The fruit of that illicit affair plagued him until he Absalom hanging on a tree.
Would you have followed this man? He was king David. How many of us who armed with our knowledge of the Law would have rejected David the man after God's own heart. How many of us if he was running for president would have ruled the one God was going to use for His purposes. David was very interesting. When Absalom, the son he had through his affair, was trying to kill him his soldier came and said they knew where Absalom was and should they go kill him. David said no and the reason is even more remarkable, Doing so might have interfered with God's will for David. I ask about this because I find it fascinating to see how the man after God's own heart did things and how we are so quick to know God's will and condemn others. Have we turned discernment into judgment? How do you tell the difference?
