The unrestrained heart ( Jeremiah 17 v 9 )

Another  thought on David and his Psalm, on confessing,the question one may ask is why he did what he did,adultery, and murder?.When you think of political crimes,religious crimes,why do they do such things?.because  they can.No one had the nerve to challenge David, he  committed a very cruel thing,consider who Uriah was, one of his mighty men ( 2 Samuel 23 v 39),yet he committed adultery with his wife, and to cover his sinful deed had him murdered .Consider when David wanted Uriah murdered he sent him   with a written message to Joab,who was expected to carry out his orders ,that would result in Uriah's death.How cynical and callous David had become, yet no one stopped him,challenged him. David the man after Gods own heart,had now become a man ruled by his wicked heart. When the heart is unrestrained ,wickedness will take over,and we will  commit the unmentionable.
