One evening David got up from his bed

2 Samuel 11:1-13
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David.
Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[a] and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
Why?
When everything is settled down, David relaxes in physical and spiritual. So he got up late in the evening and saw a woman bathing. Then David had the sin of adultery with a woman who had a husband.
Uriah is a righteous man and is a good soldier, who won't take rest then his staff is fighting with the enemy in front. This made him be killed and reveal the sin of David.
Sin is always waiting beside our door, when we relax or less aware of our spiritual life, sins are easily start-up in our mind. When a man had a mistake, who will try to cover it by another evil deed.

生活作息也是重要的,無論是生理的需要,靈裏也是一樣要有正常的作息。生活作息混亂,漸漸與罪靠攏。不要落入試探,要逃離試探。不叫我們遇見試探,原文是否叫我們不落入試探,靠主的恩典救我們脫離試探。
貪心、征服者的快感,否則大衛可以找更美的女子、嬪妃、妻子。可是他卻想占有別人的妻子。看見又想仔細看容貌。大衛是一步步靠近罪,私慾既懷了胎就生出罪來。懷胎需要時間。
罪顯露出來是神的作為,神知道我們的惡,也記得我們的善事。最不能懷孕的時間,卻懷孕了。
問戰爭的事,卻要烏利亞回家,很奇怪的問答。為什麼沒能將烏利亞回家呢?因為忠於職守。神透過烏利亞的話在責備大衛。因為他的忠心,使大衛的計謀無法得逞。教會中許多弟兄姊妹,雖名不見經傳,卻是忠於神的弟兄姊妹,都是我們的傍樣。在豐富的時候,是我們最難通過的。不是苦難,而是豐富最難通過的考驗、試練。當我們豐富的時候,我們以為不需要神了。已經有許多妻子了,還是想要別人的妻子。

How?
Always encouraging our spiritual life and be aware follow the way of the Lord closely.
