At the time of war, the war that you are in--don't send anyone else in your place! We find that even with King David, sent someone else to war in his place and set the scene for a fleshy downfall. His seeing Bathsheba bathing from the roof of the palace--whether this was a one time event or an frequent happening, if David had been in position--out to war, this would not have been an fleshly option. Fiveamprayer, we must not be out of position when there is an appointed time. The beginning of the chapter tells us the season, when kings go out to war. Yet the man after Yahweh's own heart stayed home, sending someone else in His place. This time of being out of position led to an affair with the wife of a solider, Uriah that he had fought with; a plot to cover up this love child and upon that failure, the death sentence sent out against this man that fought side by side with King David. We have to be in position to put aside those things that would attempt to trip us up! Being out of position is the set up for missing the standard that Yahweh has set for our lives. His principles are to direct and lead our lives.
In comparison, we have the response of Uriah when David calls him from war, is a solider who is focused and in position in the season! He was still in the war mindset, knowing that his fellow soldiers were on the battlefield, he would not shift to the comfort mindset even at the suggestion of his king. This is the focus and position we should be in even when an option presents itself to move--remain in position for the season! This gives us two views of men at the time that kings go out to war. Take a look and find which one do you resemble with your current mindset and behavior. This is a self-check to take and make corrections for where we have not been meeting His mark. We can see that with King David who so loved His Torah, who pleads to dwell in the house of Yahweh forever has this situation due to being out of position. Fiveamprayer take a look at yourself and find what areas are you out of position? Return to the fullness of your relationship with Adonai! As we have in the scripture, Deuteronomy 31:19 that the king was to write the principles himself twice---that His instructions would be established. This is the focus we must have and maintain to remain in position. Make no more plans to be out of position---seek to be in alignment at all times! To here more of this awesome teaching click here.
