2 Samuel 11:26-27
When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.
Tag: God is Displeased with My Sin
God sees all sin. God cannot close His eyes to sin as He is a holy and just God. We know from this story that God will and does forgive sin. Note this passage from David’s confession about the action against Uriah:
Psalms 32:1-2
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Later, in the same Psalm, David says that his sin is removed as far as the east is from the west. God has and will remove the sin of those who confess and those who acknowledge that they have “displeased” the Lord. This is the key line to remember in this passage. We read in Hebrews 11:6 that “faith” pleases the Lord. But, in this passage we read that sin”displeases” the Lord. We need to come to God in confession and realize that sin is displeasing and we are to confess the sin to find grace from God:
Mariano DiGangi writes: “Do we know what it means to be contrite? God desires that sinners sense their guilt and weep within for what their sins have done to defile self, destroy neighbor, and dishonor Christ. When we experience poverty of spirit, we are on the right road to everlasting enrichment from the treasury of divine grace. When we mourn over our sins, we pass through spiritual winter. Then comes the springtime of God’s comfort. “
