How often do we blame our circumstances for the sins we commit? 

"I sinned because there was no option." 

We do not want to admit giving in because we still find it pleasurable. In some cases, it was the fear of losing someone or something. 

JOSEPH VS KING DAVID

Joseph, a captive, overcame temptation by running away from the wicked Potiphar’s wife. While David, a King, ran towards temptation. 

Joseph did not let his slavery or current state give him an excuse to sin. But King David sinned despite all the freedom and position he enjoyed. 

Joseph lived with a clear vision. King David had lost his vision for some time. While both knew God intimately, we see different outcomes. 

BE A BELIEVER AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART 

Yet, we see King David is the only one with high praise from God. Why? He was a man after God's own heart.

No matter how badly we fall, God's love is all-powerful to lift, clean, and help us go forward. And when we move forward, we live by faith. Trust in God to fight our battles as we seek His love and knowledge (truth). 

The Father's heart is full of love for us. There is no love like His. God is love! Soon and very soon, we will meet our only true love, Jesus, Lord and Saviour of our lives. Prepare yourself to meet God. 

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
