What Can You Do?
On Sunday we looked at the story of David being seduced by the power of his role. We saw David’s taking Bathsheba, who was powerless to resist, we saw David’s efforts to cover up his actions, and we saw David’s cold-blooded actions to bring about the death of Bathsheba’s husband, Uriah.
The seduction of power is real, and it isn’t restricted to those who hold great power. Any one of us may be tempted (or is it seduced?) to do something simply because we can. Our role and responsibility, with the constant support and presence of the Holy Spirit, is to resist that temptation.
When have you felt the temptation to do something simply because you can? How did that situation turn out?
Richest blessings,
John Cheek
