2 Samuel 11

 

Among the determinants of being responsible is to be at the right place at the right time.

By virtue of willingness or ignorance, it is possible to be at the right place at the wrong time or wrong place at the wrong time. David was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Just as the word said, kings go out to battle during this time. David should have been in battle and not in the palace. 2 Samuel 11:1, ÒIt happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Daivid sent Joab and his servants with him, and all < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.Ó But David remained in Jerusalem. David was at the wrong place at the wrong time. King David could have avoided another form of battle by being in the battle front, but his being in the wrong place at the wrong time brought the battle to his front. It was during DavidÕs bad timing that he saw the wife of Uraiah. David did not just see, he also inquired about Bathsheba (UriahÕs wife), and he lay with her. After she conceived, David planned for UriahÕs death. The whole issue became a household sin for David. David was anointed and established by God. It is the business of the devil to indirectly disestablish what God has done. Remember, you are not above temptation, pay attention to your right place at the right time. Ask God to extend His hand of deliverance in every wrong positioning of your life.
