“Now in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.” 2 Samuel 11:14
This part of the Bible is always a difficult one. David, the man after God’s own heart, has just committed high handed adultery against one of his top soldiers. Now he plots to have him put to death with instructions to Joab on how to accomplish it. And then, with a cynicism not seen elsewhere in the Bible, sends it by the very man he plans to murder. Just Staggering!!!
Then I’m reminded of the Amazing Grace of God. Paul says in Romans, “where Sin abounded, Grace abounded even more”! How true this is of David! How true this is of all of us, who have been guilty of much more than we will ever see, or ever understand. May God be Praised!!!
