David found out through experience and through divine inspiration that it is easy to disguise ourselves, (to disguise the outer man or to disguise the inner man.)
David
knew a man who had toyed with God.
This man
he knew would praise God with his mouth and plan mischief and havoc in his
heart at the same time.
This man
that David knew had trained his tongue to say the right things. He knew the right buzz words of his era.
He
worshiped God and railed on others for their sin.
Outwardly
he revered God, but inwardly he sinned against God, not one time, but
many.
Over and
over again this man that David knew would bow the knee and pray, while plotting
the demise of another.
When the
sins of this man were revealed, David was appalled.
He wanted
to punish this man.
He was so
moved by the revelation of the sins of this man, that he quickly decided that
the only punishment worthy of such a reprobate, could be death.
He
pronounced sentence and was ready to follow through and exact the fair and just
punishment against someone who could be so shifty, when it was brought to his
attention, that he himself was the man."
