The Sins of a Man after God's Own Heart

• Can a man after God's own heart commit horrific sins?

If you do not consistently do what you should be doing, you will eventually do what you should not be doing.

1. He didn't do what he should have done. He didn't fulfil his mission. He relaxed/took it easy, perhaps rationalizing that he had worked hard enough.
2. He overslept and woke up with nothing to do. When you have "nothing to do," you'll end up doing something you shouldn't be doing.
3. The lust of his eyes got him. He could have stopped looking at Bathsheba, but then he had "nothing else to do."
4. He committed adultery. He "forgot" he was married, or he would stop. But he had "nothing else to do," since he didn't do what he should have done.
5. Instead of coming clean, he wanted to conceal his sin.
6. He brought Uriah back from fighting a war and got him drunk.
7. He was blind to Uriah's loyalty and faithfulness, for he was consumed with hiding his sin.
8. He sent Uriah to his death. It was premeditated murder.
