Judgment Delayed Is Not Judgment Averted King David sinned with Bathsheba and tried to cover it up by murdering her husband, Uriah.2 Samual 11.God pronounced judgment upon David.‘Out of your own household, I am going to bring calamity on you. The illegitimate child will die.2 Samuel 12:11-14David repents, God forgives him.“The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. TWENTY YEARS LATERDavid's firstborn son, Amnon, rapes his half-sister Tamar.David's third son, Absalom, takes vengeance and murders Amnon.Absalom is banished, and then he leads a rebellion against David. His rebellion fails, and Absalom is killed.The moral of the story is that you don't get all confident and prideful, thinking your sin will not exact a cost.It always does!
