SIN has its CONSEQUENCES

2 Samuel 12

Inspired thots

David could feel angry against a fictitious wrongdoer which Nathan the prophet poses but could not see his own wrong doing. How true that we cannot see the "log in our own eyes while we see the speck in others' eyes"

This is one time where God does not answer David's prayers although he fasted and wept for his sick son; he knows very well that God might be merciful and gracious to him but if not, he still worshiped God. Sin has its consequences. At least God forgave him of his sin.

We tend to forget that there are consequences to sin although there is forgiveness. Hence, it is better to restrain oneself from sinning in the first place.
