One Rest. One Look. Forever Changed.

    Could it take one look to change your life? Could it be that one look will change your future and your family's future? One would quick thought of staying home affect your life in a deep way? There is only one person to ask.

    King David stayed home during a time of war. He thought that it would be okay to miss a few battles. After all, David was king; wasn't he? What would be so bad.... One night, David took a stroll in the castle. He ended up on the roof looking down at his kingdom. The sight must have been beautiful with the streets lite by candle light. Then, his eye saw something. David saw a woman bathing herself upon the roof.

    David called for his men to bring the woman to him. Bathsheba was a very beautiful woman. David's men warned him that she was already married. Sadly, David did not listen to the men and slept with her. David soon found out that Bathsheba was with child. David wanted to hide his sin. He called for her husband Uriah to come to honor him. Uriah would not meet with his wife knowing that his men were fighting a battle. Uriah could not enjoy please if his men could not do the same.

    David sent Uriah to the front lines to be killed. David caused a man to be murdered and his wife to grieve. David married Bathsheba hoping that no one would suspect that the child was before Uriah death.

    The prophet Nathan visited David for his actions on behalf of the Lord. Nathan told the king that the sword would not depart from his house. The child that Bathsheba bore would die. Though the Lord forgave David of his sin, there would be consequences. Later on, David's daughter was raped by her half brother. One of David's sons killed the brother who defiled their sister. Later on, that same son thought to over throw his dad and become king before he met his death.

    King David went through a tough time. His family caused him many hardships. There was some good passed through his family. The Messiah would come from his line but David would not be around to see it. I am sure David had some lonely nights when he was fleeing from his son. Some of his children broke his heart.

    The though of the day is, what do your eyes see that effects your life? Do you let your eyes control your life? It could be one look that will change your entire life and future, Please do not let David's life be your life in the area of the eyes.
