We often look at ourselves and justify our actions because they are not "as bad" as someone else's. For instance, lying is not as bad as committing murder, right? Well the Word of God does not distinguish between degrees of sin. It calls all sin, sin!
David was one who had his share of struggles and setbacks in various ways of sin. I am convinced God never liked sin David committed. However, David had a heart which allowed him to recognize his ways, and to cry out to God asking forgiveness. In Psalms 73:22 David recounts these words: So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee." He could take a moment, pause, and understand he had done wrong.
Can you look over your life and understand how much God dislikes the sins you have committed, or will you continue to judge others for what you perceive to be a "worse sin"?
