Daily Verse
In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war,
David sent Joab out with the king's men
and the whole Israelite army.
They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah.
But David remained in Jerusalem.
2Samuel 11:1
Daily Thought
Nothing good happens after midnight.
Every teenager hears this because every mother says it.
Even the Fairy Godmother. Remember Cinderella's curfew?
After midnight is the wrong time to be in the wrong place.
David was supposed to be at war. War is where the men were - leaving all their wives at home in Jerusalem.
Where David was. On the palace roof. At bathing time.
Wrong time, wrong place.
Sin begins, not always with temptation, but with opportunity.
To God's Glory,
Dave
Daily Prayer
Wonderful God, You made this world and called everything in it good. You gave us this world and told us to take care of it. You said everything is yours except one thing, and we then wanted the one thing.
God, make my heart one that desires nothing other than You and Your kingdom. Strengthen my resolve, keep me from evil, and do not let me give sin a foothold into my life.
May my eyes at all times be focused on You.
Amen
