In the spring of the year, when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight the Ammonites. They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem. [2 Samuel 11.1]
What was David thinking?
Father, I think I know what David was thinking, and it wasn't good. Of course no one talks about their secret sins (including me), but You know, I am amazed that You still have grace for us. I see however that Your grace doesn't always exempt us from the repercussions of our stupid decisions. May we be found genuinely repentant at the thought stage before the actions of our sins destroy us. So be it.
