—2 Samuel 11:1-5
by: Leota Stevens.
Our enemy chooses the subtle approach when we are off our guard to stage his offensive. Had David been with his troops, as was his custom as king, instead of staying behind from battle, he wouldn’t have been checking out the hottie that lived near the palace. Before reproaching David’s moral failings, we should check for red-flag warnings in our own lives. Was this a one night virtue to vice experience? I don’t think so. The snare of sin becomes less visible to us when we incrementally do the things that focus our attention away from the Lord.
