Men weren't made to be idle
When a man is out of the way of his duty he will be in the way of his lusts
When he lost work he found sleep
He should've been coming in from a hard days' work, but he wasn't so now he was "restless" - Rest evaded him
He should've been resting in the dark, but now he was awake in the dark
Lust says I "Want Now" / Love says I "Need Later"
Lust wants what's not it's own / Love is satisfied with it's own
God revealed to David what was in his heart all along
2 Sam 12:22-23 - I want it so bad
David shows the proper attitude when begging God for something
He didn't hold onto it in his heart
When God didn't answer as David wished, he simply accepted it and moved on
