When men go to war

I woke up this morning with 2 Sam. 11:1 on my mind. Now you might be saying that's an odd scripture to have on your mind. Doesn't say much does it? Here Read it:

2 Sam 11:1
11:1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king's men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
NIV

What I want you to understand is this verse starts a series of events in David's life he would love to take back. Everything in your life begins somewhere. The more times you can start things off right the more times they will end up right. David was a king. The Bible says when KINGS go off to war (real king's not last name king) and David didn't. He didn't do what he knew was the right thing to do. Maybe he was tired...surely God would understand that he was tired...my goodness he has been going to church, I mean at war most of his adult life. The problem is not God understanding...God is NOT the one tempting you to do wrong. (James 1:13) Making things simple...do what is RIGHT not what feels right. When king's go to war, David stayed home. Staying home isn't bad, seeing Bathsheba taking a bath is and he would not have seen her if he had been where he was suppose to be. A scottish proverb says, "If the Devil finds a Man idle, he'll set him at Work." See you Sunday :o) Get there early!
