经文：撒母耳记下 11–12章

关键经文：撒母耳记下 11:2

“一日，太阳平息的时候，大卫从床上起来，在王宫的平顶上游行，看见一个妇人沐浴，容貌甚美。”

一、大卫为何会跌倒？

1. 离开了该在的位置（11:1）

“列王出战的时候到了……但大卫仍住在耶路撒冷。”

春天是出征的季节，是君王与军队并肩作战的时刻。
但大卫选择留在宫中，留在安逸中，也留在了试探的边缘。
有时候，最大的危机，不是战争的刀剑，而是心灵的松懈。

2. 注目于不该注目的（11:2）

“他从屋顶上看见一个妇人沐浴，那妇人容貌甚美。”

这一眼，原是偶然，但他没有转身；
这一眼，成了心中欲望的入口。
罪常从一个眼神开始，诱惑的火焰悄悄燃烧，若不及时止步，便一发不可收拾。

3. 压下了良知的提醒（11:3）

“她是乌利亚的妻子，不是吗？”

神透过人的提醒在呼唤大卫回头。
但当心被欲望蒙蔽时，即便真理在耳边响起，也可能被我们选择性地忽略。
人最危险的时刻，不是听不到神的声音，而是听到了，却选择不回应。

二、罪的代价与神的怜悯（12:9–10,13）

“你为何藐视耶和华的话？……从今以后，刀剑必不离开你的家。”
大卫说：“我得罪耶和华了。”

罪带来破坏、羞辱、流血与家庭的撕裂，
但当大卫在拿单面前认罪时，神的心仍旧满有恩典。
他跌倒了，却不是被弃绝；他软弱了，却仍有归回的路。

三、今日我们如何警醒不跌倒？
1. 守住神给你的位分，不放松警醒。
别让闲懒和自我安逸成为灵命破口。
2. 守住眼目，立志转离邪恶。
正如约伯说：“我与眼睛立约，不看不该看的。”
3. 珍惜神赐的提醒，及时回转。
神的声音可能透过经文、朋友、甚至内心微弱的刺痛而来。
4. 一旦跌倒，立刻悔改，回到恩典中。
神看重的不是无瑕，而是一颗痛悔的心。

祷告回应：

主啊，求祢光照我，让我不在软弱中迷失。
当我站在屋顶上，面对看似无害的引诱时，
求祢赐我警醒的心，转眼仰望祢，而非沉沦在欲望中。
若我跌倒了，主啊，不要离弃我，
求祢像对大卫那样，差遣祢的话语，引我悔改，
因祢的恩典比我一切过犯更大。
阿们。

Weakness in Temptation, Redemption in Grace: A Reflection from 2 Samuel

Scripture: 2 Samuel 11–12

Key Verse: 2 Samuel 11:2

“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.”

I. Why Did David Fall?

1. He Left the Place He Was Meant to Be (11:1)

“In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war… but David remained in Jerusalem.”

Spring was the season for kings to go to battle, to stand with their armies.
But David chose to remain in the palace—in comfort, in passivity, and at the edge of temptation.
Sometimes the greatest danger isn’t the sword of war, but the complacency of the heart.

2. He Fixed His Eyes on What He Should Not Have (11:2)

“From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful.”

It started with a glance—perhaps unintentional—but he didn’t turn away.
That glance became the doorway for desire to enter.
Sin often begins with a lingering look. The fire of temptation quietly ignites, and without quick resistance, it consumes.

3. He Silenced the Voice of Conscience (11:3)

“Isn’t this Bathsheba… the wife of Uriah?”

God was calling David back through the voice of another.
But when the heart is clouded by desire, even the voice of truth can be selectively ignored.
The most dangerous moment is not when we can’t hear God’s voice, but when we hear it and choose not to respond.

II. The Cost of Sin and the Mercy of God (12:9–10, 13)

“Why did you despise the word of the Lord?… From now on, the sword will never depart from your house.”
David said, “I have sinned against the Lord.”

Sin brings destruction, shame, bloodshed, and brokenness within the family.
But when David confessed before Nathan, God’s heart was still full of mercy.
He fell—but was not forsaken. He was weak—but there was still a path home.

III. How Can We Guard Ourselves Today?
1. Stay in the position God has called you to—remain alert.
Don’t let idleness or self-comfort become a breach in your spiritual life.
2. Guard your eyes—make a covenant to turn from evil.
As Job said, “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.”
3. Treasure God’s warnings—turn back quickly.
His voice may come through Scripture, a friend, or even a subtle inner conviction.
4. When you fall, repent immediately and return to grace.
What God values most is not perfection, but a contrite heart.

Prayer Response:

Lord, shine Your light on me, that I may not be lost in weakness.
When I stand on the rooftop, facing temptations that appear harmless,
grant me a watchful heart that turns my eyes to You,
rather than being drawn into desire.
If I fall, Lord, do not cast me away.
As You did with David, send Your word to call me back.
For Your grace is greater than all my sins.
Amen.
