Morning Thoughts 1/12/11

It was a very interesting morning today. I had to wake up really early today so my cleaning lady could clean today. It got me thinking, and I prayed for like 15 minutes to start my day today. God was speaking to me, and I felt a calling to read some scripture after I got back from breakfast. I ended up reading 2 Samuel 11 where it takes it talks about David and Bethsheeba. This chapter is all about sin, and the evils of covering up your sin. This is one of the best passages in the bible to me because it speaks to me the most. One of the problems that people face with sin is how to deal with it after you have already committed a sin. In this specific example, David sleeps with Bethsheeba, and tries to find a way around the horrible sin he committed. He tells the army general to bring her husband back and tries to get him drunk. In this, he hopes that he would sleep with her, so he would think he got her pregnant. Yoriah was too much of a decent man to do that. He says my brothers are fighting in the war, so I won't. David is angry when he hears this, and tells the army general to put him in the fighting lines and have everyone else stand back. The army general did this, and he was killed. This passage of scripture shows that when we commit sins and we try and cover them up, it ends up getting worse and worse. Moral=Pray to God for forgiveness for your sins. He loves you, and they will be carried off. Jesus is so great whenever i commit a sin, I go to Him, and He comforts me....
