Appearing similar to the 1st commandment one of the lessons shown in the book states that

the Lord shall be the only God and that he is the chosen to be loved and followed. Those who
follows idols or false prophets and choose to disobey the Lord will receive consequence.

There are some lessons to be learned from this dark period:

1. Beware of idleness.
2. Beware of exposing nakedness.
3. Beware of letting the eyes and mind dwell on sinful things.
4. Never think that unconfessed sin can be covered up.
5. Beware of thinking, “It can’t happen to me.”

Some lessons from David:

A. David was not without faults.
Even though David was a powerful king over Israel for 40 years and his heart was definitely
inclined Godward, he was not without faults. For example, David sinned in placing
confidence in human strength, and he manifested weakness as a father, whose sons brought
him shame.

B. David was not without troubles.

One of the basic fallacies which many Christians secretly hold is the idea that when you are
right with God, you ought to have nothing but good fortune. But David had his share of
troubles. He brought some of them upon himself because of his sin with Bathsheba and his
lack of discipline over his children

C. David was not without limitations.

David needed a power outside himself and he wasn’t too proud to admit it. He said one time,
“My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:”. On another occasion, he said, “The Lord is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
