Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample
Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalm 119:11).
Where should you go when temptation knocks at your door?
King David is a powerbroker. Repeatedly the word “sent” is used in 2 Samuel 11 showing that David carries great authority and dispatches people at will. After observing Bathsheba bathing, he “sent and inquired about the woman” (2 Samuel 11:3). Then, after learning that she is married, “David sent messengers, and took her” (2 Samuel 11:4). Even after trying to cover up the scandal, “David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah” (2 Samuel 11:14). This letter, carried by a loyal subject of the king, is Uriah’s death sentence. After David committed adultery and had Uriah murdered, “the LORD sent Nathan to David” (2 Samuel 12:1). David should have turned to the Lord and the man of God before he entered into temptation.
Employment Point: Turn to God and godly people for strength in your time of need.
