—2 Samuel 11:14-27
by: Andrea Pozo.
When we want to cover up our sins instead of confessing and repenting, the most absurd “solutions” come to mind. Since Uriah could not be tricked into thinking the baby was his, David decided to get rid of him. He dragged Joab into his scheme and made him take a dangerous strategy in battle, putting the lives of many men in danger and ensuring that Uriah would be killed. At that moment, David was blinded by sin and when he heard of Uriah´s death, he sent a messenger to encourage Joab for his actions saying, “Don’t let this upset you” (v.25, NIV). So, congratulations were in order? Let us pray for forgiveness for the times when we have dragged others into sin because our position of authority allowed us to do so.
