A Sad Story

Bible in a Year : Psalms 94–96; Romans 15:14–33

The thing David had done displeased the Lord. 2 Samuel 11:27

Painfully, the evil that has long been swept under the rug—sexual abuse of many women by men who had power over them—has come to light. Enduring headline after headline, my heart sank when I heard proof of abuse by two men I admired. The church has not been immune to these issues.

King David faced his own reckoning. Samuel tells us that one afternoon, David “saw a woman bathing” (2 Samuel 11:2). And David wanted her. Though Bathsheba was the wife of one his loyal soldiers (Uriah), David took her anyway. When Bathsheba told David she was pregnant, he panicked. And in a despicable act of treachery, David arranged for Joab to have Uriah die on the battlefield.

There is no hiding David’s abuse of power against Bathsheba and Uriah. Here it is in full color, Samuel ensuring we see it. We must deal with our evil.

Also, we must hear these stories because they caution us against the abuse of power in our times. This was David, “a man after [God’s] own heart” (Acts 13:22), but also a man who needed to be held accountable for his actions. May we also prayerfully hold leaders accountable for how they use or abuse power.

By God’s grace, redemption is possible. If we read further, we encounter David’s profound repentance (2 Samuel 12:13). Thankfully, hard hearts can still turn from death to life.

By Winn Collier

Reflect & Pray

Why is it important to prayerfully address the abuse of power in our midst and in our world? How did Jesus reveal the right way to live out true power?

God, I don’t know what to do with all the brokenness I see in my world, the brokenness in me. Will You shine Your light and heal us?

[Fiji Hill]

Blue Velvet was the first song that got my attention. Later hard rock took over.

In the 60s I spent several Summers in a beautiful mountain retreat. There was a huge Summer staff of around 360 college age girls and around 80 guys.

Lots of romances started and some continued. In fact I met my wife there. Everyone also knew what was meant by “when the Summer’s over the Summer’s over”.

During the last week the Summer staff was there, we would have an end of the Summer show, You know slides of everyone at work, dating sleeping playing sports etc.

One year I had two songs played to end the show. One was “See you in September” and the other was Summer Song by Chad and Jeremy. All the girls began to cry and some of the boys too. I was told to not play those next year but I am glad I did.They will remember fondly those Summers.
