FAITH CAPSULE: Wrongdoing is a sin and does not have a place before God

2Samuel 11

In the place of doing, there is a consequence for right or wrongdoing.
Excuses do not deny consequences.
Always do right to disengage wrongdoing.
Any right doing is bound for one to be increased before God, while wrongdoing shall reduce one not to arrive at the calling of God.
Think it right and know right to gain right to the glory of God.
King David engaged in assignment right when he sent Joab, his servants, and all of Israel to battle.
King David started right but turned wrong when he stayed back from going to war.
The Bible records, “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.”(2 Samuel 11:1)
David was to be at the battlefront when he remained at home.
King David used his rightful power when he unrightfully took possession of the wife of Uriah. 
Uriah the Hittite was at the battleground when David made his move for his wife. 
2 Samuel 11:4-5 records, “Then David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.” 
David chose to be at the right place at the wrong time. 
David was supposed to be at the battlefront but chose to be home at the wrong time. 
The absence of David from the battlefront promoted action outside of God. 
He committed adultery and also extended it to murder. 
Sin is like a disease that does not stop itself when there is no choice in place to stop sinning. 
Wickedness was the sin of David. 
In the place to do right, are you about to engage in a sin wrongly? 
It is always good to go back to God before the enemies use one as a ground to expand your sin. 
The sin of David becomes expanded. 
2 Samuel 11:14-15 records, “In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.”
On that morning hour, David could have been in the presence of God seeking forgiveness but went further with sinning to orchestrate the death of Uriah in the battle.
God rightfully positioned David as a king, but he took his rightful position to commit an unrighteous act. 
Regardless of your God-given position, inside or outside of the church, always remember, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3)

Prayer for today: Pray not to be in a position to engage in sinful acts before God.
