King David sinned against God when he had sexual relation with someone he wasn't married to . He had sex with Bathsheba, the wife of one of his elite soldiers, Uriah the hittite.
Sin is always treachery. Treachery against God, treachery against our fellow men. King David took advantage of Bathsheba, betrayed God and Uriah . He didn't care about how they felt, he only cared about his own satisfaction.
Then the women sent word that she is pregnant with David's child. What David thought was a one night of pleasure became a serious problem. Now he had to do something, because according to the Divine law, adulterers must be put to death.
What will king David do ? Will he go to God and ask for guidance or will he try to take matters into his own hands and fix the situation? . He took matters into his own hands and had Uriah, the husband killed in battle .
And this is what happens to many of us . When we fall into sin or make mistake, instead of going to God, repent and seek for guidance on how to proceed, we take matters into our own hands and Satan will be at hand to lead us to greater evils.
In trying to save himself from the situation he got into, Satan led David to commit murder. You see this all the time, people commit sexual immorality with someone who is not their husband or wife and then when pregnancy occurs run to the abortion clinic to murder the child in the womb. Adding sin to sin.
The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking that we are wise enough to lead our own lives. Satan will take advantage of us and lead us from evil to evil, from one state of rebellion to another.
Friends, let us not be like king David when we fall into sin. Let us not seek to get ourselves out by our own wisdom, but let us immediately seek the presence of the Lord through prayer and ask for forgiveness and help to go forward in righteousness. Do not trust in your own wisdom, but pit your trust in the Lord 🙏🏾
