Think about the unguarded moments of your life as we examine again the life of David. We will see that in David's life--unguarded moments led to sin; sin had inevitable consequences that led to pain; painful godly sorrow brought repentance, and humble obedience led to joy!  

As we enter into this final phase of David's life, where we meet him today--he is at the top of his career. He is a successful king, powerful ruler, undefeated general, wealthy businessman, and surrounded on every side by God's blessing. David is writing worship music, serving the Lord in public worship, practicing personal worship and loving the Lord. 

But, there is an incredible postscript to an incredible life that should stop each of us dead in our tracks. Look with me at 1^st Kings 15:5.  

"Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite." NKJV

God forgives the sins, and God forgets the iniquities. But the consequences and loss are recorded in the Bible, God's forever settled in Heaven Word.  

Beware of allowing any unguarded moments in your life, thinking that you are safe from sin's reach, and that it won't bother you anymore; it is at that moment the ravenous devourer himself is crouching and preparing to spring. That is what David discovered, only it was too late!  

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

1 Corinthians 10:12 "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."
