I just realized that we haven’t posted in a month. I did post about David in 2 Samuel 10 and 11, but I took it down. I took it down, because I didn’t feel like what I had written is was what the Lord wanted me to post about. What I do feel that the Lord was leading me to write about is the scripture 2 Samuel 11:1.

” 1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.”

The last sentence sticks out to me most, “But David remained in Jerusalem.” That sentence suggests that David had a choice. David chose to stay home. David was where he wasn’t supposed to be and he fell into sin with Bathsheba.

In our lives, we can physically be where we are not supposed to be and easily fall into sin. It is the same spiritually. If we are not where we are supposed to be spiritually, it is much easier for us to fall into sin. Do you feel like you are where you should be spiritually?

I recently knew that I wasn’t where I should be spiritually. God so convicted me; I was on an airplane crying. I felt like I had missed God. I just felt that He had so much to say to me, but I didn’t want to listen. I wanted to give into my flesh and do what I felt like doing. God showed me How much He loved me and how He had looked over me and kept me from harm when I had my back to Him. I found such freedom in my repentance. I am now thankful for that moment, because it made me evaluate where I was spiritually.

Do you have your back to God? Are you where you are supposed to be spiritually?

Lord, I pray for those reading this blog post that you would show them how much you love them. That we would find great peace and freedom in our repentance. I pray that we would learn to delight in you more than our flesh. Thank you for protecting us from harm, even when we don’t know it. You are amazing Lord and I love you.
