[Life Of David] A Night Of Passion Becomes A Life Of Pain Exemple

## God’s Will David was in the wrong place. He should have been on the battlefield, not in the bedroom. People who do not want to fall should not walk in slippery places. Being in the right place physically and spiritually can prevent many possible future problems. For married men, the right place means never being alone with a woman who is not your wife. For married women, the right place means never being alone with a man who is not your husband. The right place is never putting yourself in situations you know you cannot control. Honoring the Lord with your relationship is the right place is to be as a good husband and wife. Be the husband you are supposed to be, the wife you are supposed to be, the single adult you are supposed to be, the teenager you are supposed to be. Job 31:1 says, “I have made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully upon a woman.” Do not click on the places you are not supposed to be clicking on your computer. Be who God wants you to be. Fulfill God’s will in your life, what He created you for. Do you know what God’s will is for us? 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 says: “For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you keep away from sexual immorality so that each of you knows how to control his [or her] own body in holiness and honor, not in sinful lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.” God’s will for us—in marriage or as a single person—is to be sanctified and to keep away from sexual immorality, sin, and affairs. He has given us the power and authority to control our bodies in holiness. We can honor Him living as married men and women and as single men and women. He has not called us to impurity but sanctification. This is His will for us, and when we do His will, we receive all He has promised to us in His Word.
