"David became greater & greater, for the Lord of hosts was w him...David realized that the Lord established him king of Israel & that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel." 2 Sam. 5:10,12
David was an imperfect, God called man. When he forgot who called him, and where he came from, he lost sight of where he was going. Don't we all.
Bad leaders live to do wrong. Good leaders avoid doing what is wrong. Great leaders know God has placed them where they are to make a difference in the lives of other, not to make a name for themselves.
NOTE TO SELF: Do you live to make a name for yourself or do you desire to make a difference? Prayerlessness feeds your pride, but prayerfulness yields humility. Prayer changes people, and prayerful people are used by God to change things. Make a difference.
