Read first:
Samuel 11&12
(i say read first, bc unlike last post its not the scipture basis. this wont make sense if dont read it lol)

Now, first thoughts, How low of David. this is gods guy, like "a man after God's own heart" to say it like the biblio does, and he goes and does that!!!? now, im not saying im perfect by any stretch but to get someone killed to have their wife, like bam three commandments with one stone, ouch.
Second thoughts. the more that i sat and thought about this, i realized that i am not perfect, and its not my place to judge which sin is worse than the other, i am a sinner just as David was and in that we are equal, just like all of the human race. but that is another blog for another time(maybe next one!).
Third thoughts, after all of this, God forgives David and blesses him with a son, that the lord "loves" and will later be one of the best kings of his and all times. i guess what i'm saying is, this just goes to show that no matter how big the goof-up is, God is good, God is just, and God is merciful.
Real life application: next time someone ticks you off, steals ur girl or boy, is just mean, or whatever. remember God forgave and so should we, he calls us to(Mark 11:25) he says that if we cant forgive other people, christian or not, than he can't forgive us. not to mention, i screw up, u screw up, so does everyone else, its nice not to catch crap about it all the time honestly. So i challenge you for the next time someone is really getting your goat, just remember who forgave you the time it mattered, and what he would do when someone screwed up.
later guys and gals
