King David once lived in a season of being backslidden. This short, painful scene in David’s life became a turning point that brought him face to face with the consequences of living outside of the will of God and beneath his destiny. When we make decisions that do not honor the Lord, there will be consequences. Sometimes those consequences are intense. How do we respond when our sins catch up with us? Do we run further from God, or do we have enough assurance of His committed love to turn to Him in our moment of deep need? David temporarily lost everything he treasured. Even his own life hung in the balance. Yet, a gracious God met the struggling king and brought him to the place where he could receive back what the enemy had stolen. Something happened in David’s encounter with God that changed everything. David’s bad decisions had created an impossible knot for himself. God was going to prove that He knows how to untie impossible knots.
