In 2nd Samuel 11 verse 1 we read that Israel. Israel went to war. Israel went to war but David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in the even tide that David arose from off his bed. And walked upon the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman. A woman washing herself. And the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and inquired after the woman. Now beloved you may believe that David later tragically went on to commit adultery with her. You may believe that David later tragically went on to commit adultery with her. But Jesus said Matthew 5 verse 28. But whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already.

That we did not choose or want to behold but it is our choice. If we look again it is our choice if we keep on looking. And Galatians 5 verse 9 warns that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. That's all the devil needs David. It's all the devil wants David. Just a little leaveneth the whole lump. Gotcha. In James chapter 1.
