David had not only committed adultery, but now we see him committing murder. Remember, David was a man after God’s own heart, a man who was singularly held up in the Old Testament as one of the greatest men of faith who ever lived. What’s going on? It all started seemingly so simple. He neglected his duty to go to battle. Then his eyes wandered. His curiosity was aroused. He committed adultery, and now murder. David is stumbling badly. But that’s the way sin is. Sin has a sneaky way of compounding itself. Before you know it, you’re more deeply involved in it than you ever thought you would be. That is why it is absolutely essential to not give in at that first point of temptation. You cannot control the course of your destiny once you allow yourself to begin to flirt with sin. It will capture you. It will ensnare you. And ultimately it will destroy you. David once killed giants. Now this giant is killing him.
