I pray that God's great grace may allow for quick repentance of the sin of adultery.

King David, upon hearing that Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, was pregnant with his child, tried to cover up the matter by calling Uriah, who was fighting in the battlefield with his commander Joab and the Israelite army, back to his house, hoping he would go home and sleep with his wife Bathsheba, whom he had been away from for a long time.  However, contrary to David's plan, Uriah did not go home.  Instead, he spent the night with the palace guards at the palace gates.  The reason was that Uriah said, "The army is at war, and the ark of the Lord is with them, and my commander Joab and his men are camping in the open fields.  How can I go to my house to eat, drink, and sleep with my wife?"  Uriah swore before King David that he would not do such a thing.  Despite this, King David invited Uriah to dinner, got him drunk, and tried to make him go home, but Uriah still did not go home.  He spent the night with the palace guards at the gate (2 Samuel 11:5-13, Korean Modern Bible).  The loyal soldier Uriah, although he had been away from his wife Bathsheba for a long time, did not sleep with her, while David, abusing his kingship, committed the sin of adultery with Bathsheba, his neighbor's wife.  How many Christians today are committing the same sin of adultery as David did?  I pray for God's great grace to allow for quick repentance of the sin of adultery.
