It's hard to see David fall into the sins of adultery and murder!<br />
came across these scriptures related to sin:<br />
Romans 6:23 (NLT)<br />
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."<br />
Ezekiel 18:4 (NLT)<br />
"For all people are mine to judge—both parents and children alike. And this is my rule: The person who sins is the one who will die."<br />
Galatians 6:9 (NLT)<br />
"So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up."<br />
1 Corinthians 10:12 (NLT)<br />
"If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall."<br />
Proverbs 13:15 (NLT)<br />
"A person with good sense is respected;<br />
a treacherous person is headed for destruction."</p>
<p>May we learn from David's story and not let sin destroy our life!</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />

If we dont stop ourselves there, sin in our heart turns to action. Unrepented sinful action leads one on a downward spiral! David didnt wake up one day and think, hm, I think i'll commit adultery and then have her husband killed! Sin is slow, sneaky and starts with compromise, which leads to another compromise, and so on. Before you know it, you're in a big mess! Poor Uriah! I like wen Nathan gives David the parable of the man's one lamb slaughtered and David was outraged!: that man should die! So Nathan said, You are that man! Sin looks so much worse when other people are doing it! We are masters at justifying ourselves...deceiving ourselves.</p>
<p>I love John 15! John v. 4 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." Sometimes we may try to fool ourselves into thinking we can bear fruit alone. We cant. how can we? ppl may try self-help methods, self-will, etc. but thats useless. we need to abide in Christ and Him in us. Fruit is a byproduct! It cannot be attained on its own, its a byproduct of abiding in Him. theres no way around that!</p>
<p>"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full."...i like this!</p>
<p>"I have called you friends." Wow! we who belong to Him are no longer enemies of God, but His friends! reminds me of a song I like, "I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God, He calls me friend!"</p>
<p>"You did not choose Me, but I chose you"...I really love this! Man, and wen i try to wonder, understand WHY He chose ME!...I cant figure it out! I remember a while back i well entertained pity parties thinking, i'm not chosen by anyone...i'm either a relative, a coworker, someone's "friend" kinda cause it just happened that way. No one chose me. no one married me, no one in my life made a choice to be with me, they all just kinda got stuck with me. In my tears and self-pity I heard God call out: Hello!! *I* chose you! The God of the universe chose you Jenny.' That really stopped me in my tracks. How can i complain when I been chosen by God almighty! There's a great song by Kutless, called Sea of Faces that really spoke to me. the lyrics go:<br />
"If only my one heart<br />
Was all You'd gain from all it cost<br />
Well I know You would have still been a man<br />
With a reason<br />
To willingly offer Your life"</p>
<p>I love Prov 16:1-3...So true!!!! all i can say is Amen and Amen!</p>
