—2 Samuel 12:1-7, 13-15

The sad thing about sin is its collateral damage factor. Married people who cheat on their mates don’t initially intend to destroy the lives of their children, or break their parents’ hearts, or add to the welfare roll. Sin never realizes its promised satisfaction. When these sins are committed by those of us who are believers in Christ, then like David, we have given the enemy of our souls a great opportunity to blaspheme the name of our precious Lord and Savior. We need to be vigilantly on guard against sin—and we do that by diligently studying God’s word and staying vibrantly in love with Jesus.
