The second most famous King David story (after Goliath) is this one of moral failure. It is often presented as a private matter between two people probably had never met, but...David's advisor Ahithofel was Bathsheba grandfather...Uriah was one of David's mighty men...He sends servants to get her, notes to his army commander, spies to follow him... This is not small issue. It has everyone talking. Most everyone knows each other...
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
