King David had secretly committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah and later plotted the murder of her husband. After the death of Uriah, David took Bathsheba to be his wife. Although the king tried to cover his sin from men, he could not hide it from God. When the Lord sent Prophet Nathan to David and uncovered his secret sin, he promptly repented in humility, saying: "I have sinned against the LORD".

The godly are those who continue to follow God after they have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Both the godly and the unjust are faced with suggestions to do evil and disobey God, at all times. The Holy Spirit prompts the godly to choose to do good in the face of trials. The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. He will never leave His own, neither will He forsake them.

Many Christians are living like the people of the world without faith and without the hope of heaven. Only true believers will be raptured at the coming of the Lord. These are believers who constantly look or hope for the city whose builder and maker is God. Heaven is a place prepared by the LORD for only prepared people. Therefore nobody can make heaven without preparation.

Sometimes you feel or think that God has forgotten you, especially when it appears that your prayers are not being answered. But at such times you should remind yourself that the Lord loves you more than a mother loves her sucking child, and has promised that He will never forget you. The heaven and the earth may pass away but the word of the Lord abides for ever and will surely come to pass. 

There are many things calling for your attention in life but only one thing really matters the most. The most important thing is securing the assurance of spending eternity with God in heaven. After your education, what next? After getting married and raising a family, what next? After rising to the peak of your career, what next? Eventually death will come and your time on earth will expire, but where will you spend eternity?
