“In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?””

All,
This stands out because the writer of Samuel says, “In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle…But David remained at Jerusalem.” Does anything good happen when we are in places outside of God’s purpose? We may walk down a wrong path thinking we can correct at anytime, when actually we can’t. Jesus says to walk in the light as He is in the light. We typically find ourselves in these situations when we take our eyes off Jesus. Please pray that we and our friends feed the Spirit and starve the flesh today. Please pray for Gary’s group.
