1 Chronicles 20

It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it. v.1

So you know that story of David and Bathsheba?  The one where David commits adultery with one of his mighty men's wife and she becomes pregnant and David has her husband Uriah killed.  The account is in 2 Samuel 11-12.  Two full chapters in the book of Second Samuel are on this event yet the coinciding historical record gives a glimpse in half a verse.  We read it here in verse one, "but David stayed at Jerusalem."  There is no record in the books of Chronicles of David and Bathsheba's sin.  Why God didn't choose to reference it could be a number of reasons.  That story and account of David's sin with Bathsheba is one many people know and don't forget.  But perhaps God is choosing to forget and not hold against him as David repented and was forgiven by God.  What also seems like a big matter in the world's eyes is a small matter in God's eyes.  What took two chapters in man's account only took God one verse in His account.  As you look back on your life can you think of a time of sin in a situation that seemed like it was a huge ordeal that you now have moved on from and feel the Lord's forgiveness not holding it against you?   If you were to look at your life this past year what do you focus on the most and what do you think God would focus on the most?  Are they the same or different?  Why?
