Category: Bear The Consequence And Move On

“15 Then Nathan departed to his  house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it became ill.

16 David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.

17 So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.

18 Then on the seventh day it came  to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead. For they said, “Indeed, while the child was  alive, we spoke to him, and he would not heed our voice. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He may do some harm!” 

19 When David saw that his servants were  whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”

20 So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.

For every act there is a reaction. For every seed there is an harvest. Every mistake has what it takes. God is a business man who makes sure He pays every one his/her due coin. 

Galatia 6:7,

“7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

God is merciful and He is also an account keeper. If anyone falls,   either we stay on ground or we stand up to our feet, God still pays us back our dues. He is a forgiving God but every sin has it’s punishment. When you repent of your sins and go back to Him, He delivers you from the judgment but there is always a punishment awaiting us.

David thought that God’s mercy on him can stop God from punishing him, no, that wasn’t included in God’s mercy and forgiveness. For every act against God, no matter who we are, there is punishment. Moses lost the promise land because of anger and disobedience to God’s instructions, but He’s body was still carried by the angel, Jude 1:9. Samson walked into sin and lost his eye as the punishment, but God still listened to his voice and used him to defect the Philistines, Judges 16:28-30.

God might forgive you for falling but there is punishment waiting. Be prepare for it and don’t run from it. It might comes as  reproach, mockery, lost of something or someone special to you, but listen, if He forgives you, you will rise again and still be a vessel in His hand. Never thinks He hasn’t forgiven you, He has, but there is a cane for every mistake in our Christian race. 

I pray for every one, myself inclusive, we will not fall in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. 

If anyone is down at the moment, as a fall in the race, God’s mercy will speak for you in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. The Grace to stand to your feet and continue the race rest upon you today, Amen. The Grace to handle the next stage, rest on you, so shall it be in Jesus Precious name, Amen.
