—2 Samuel 11:22-27
by: Leota Stevens.
David’s soul was so blinded by sin that for a short time he actually seemed to believe that he had hid his adultery and murder from just about everyone—everyone, that is, except God! David may have deceived the people, and he certainly deceived himself, but he would still have to answer to the Lord for his rebellious ways. Deception is a fool’s game that keeps us from the sweet presence of the one who loves us most. It is never worth the price it extracts from our hearts.
