2 Sam. 11:1_ At the time when Kings went forth to battle, David sent Joab.
2 Sam. 12:20_ .........and David came into the house of the Lord.....
Let us notice that in the 11th chapter we see David, who was a King, was supposed to go to battle because it was the time usually Kings went to battle, but we see him staying back. He was NOT in the place he was supposed to be! -sin entered -
But in the 12th chapter, vs 20, we see him rectifying his mistake by going to the place he was supposed to be (the house of the Lord)
Many times, it's the place! Oh, how sad it is when believers fall prey to the devil just because they are in the wrong place, in a place they are not supposed to be. On Sundays, on cottage meetings, in bible studies we often see a believer away from the fellowship and that is exactly where the devil takes his chance.
What then? - let us rectify our mistakes and copy David in returning to the house of the Lord (presence of God)
There's a fall when you are in "his absence"
There's restoration when you go in "his presence"
