2 Samuel 12:7 - The Message
"You’re the man!" said Nathan. "And here’s what God, the God of Israel, has to say to you: I made you king over Israel. I freed you from the fist of Saul. I gave you your master’s daughter and other wives to have and to hold. I gave you both Israel and Judah. And if that hadn’t been enough, I’d have gladly thrown in much more. So why have you treated the word of God with brazen contempt, doing this great evil? You murdered Uriah the Hittite, then took his wife as your wife. Worse, you killed him with an Ammonite sword! And now, because you treated God with such contempt and took Uriah the Hittite’s wife as your wife, killing and murder will continually plague your family. This is God speaking, remember! I’ll make trouble for you out of your own family. I’ll take your wives from right out in front of you. I’ll give them to some neighbor, and he’ll go to bed with them openly. You did your deed in secret; I’m doing mine with the whole country watching!"

2 Samuel 12:7 - Additional Comments
How quick we are to see the sin in others, and ignore the blackness in our own life. How quickly we demand repentance, or payment, from others, yet make excuses for everything we do.
From DC Talk's "In The Light" - "I am the king of excuses, I've got one for every selfish thing I do."
Is there anything in your life that you know is sin, yet you are making excuses for?
Oh, if only we had a godly man in our lives to confront us with our sin the way Nathan confronted David, to wake us up and get us to repent!
