I heard the phrase many years ago in a counseling class that da’ Nile is not just a river in Egypt. While we often associate it with one of the stages of grief, it appears more often in relation to sin. Besides placing the blame on another, a close second retreat it to deny that we did the action all together or that it was even sin as we try to rationalize our actions. As we continue on in the life of David, he comes to a critical point in his life in 2 Samuel 12 where he will have to either continue to deny the actions that he took were sin or see it as God sees is–SIN–and confess and repent of what he has done. Take a few moments to listen to this sermon and be encouraged and challenged in your own spiritual walk and your response to sin.
