ATTENTION! Listen up recruits! This is 2 Samuel 12 and you better pay attention because it's an important one. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband, Uriah, killed in battle. God was mad and sent the prophet Nathan to confront David. Nathan told David a story about a rich man who had stolen a poor man's pet lamb for a feast. David got mad, but Nathan told him, "You are the rich man, David!" David acknowledged his sin and repented to God. God forgave him but still punished him, and David suffered the death of his son by Bathsheba, who was conceived in adultery. So soldiers, remember: God is loving but also just. He forgives when we repent, but He still corrects us when we sin. That's it, now move out!
