What stands out to me in this chapter is how hard David works to hide it, one step after another, and how heavy that must have gotten. Sin tends to snowball when we cover it up instead of bringing it into the light. It makes Psalm 51:10 hit harder later: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Do you think the cover-up did more damage than the first sin?

 

[Jay Ross]

What stood out to me is that God in His grace gave David around eight years before he sent Nathan the Prophet to confront him of his sin of turning away from God and the sad part was that eight years or so later, David did not remember his Sins against God.

How do I know this?

1 Chron 3:5: - 5 These were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan and Solomon, four by Bath-shua, the daughter of Ammiel;

Between the births of Shimea and Solomon Bathshua bore two other sons over a period of around 8 or so years.

David's adultery with Bathshua began shortly after David established Jerusalem as the place where he lived and Solomon was born around 20 years into His reign.

What can we glean from this is that God gives His "saints" a period of Grace to reflect on their actions and come to the understanding that they have rebelled against God and need to repent of their turning away from God. How long God gives for each of us to repent is dependent upon the saint and his sins against God.

The Traveller, i.e. Satan, cause David to Sin when he called and took Bathshua. The next two times Satan cause David to sin, the period of Grace granted for Davbid to repent was much shorter.

As God's Saints we all need to keep sort accounts with God and repent of our sins before God.

Shalom
