"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me." Psalms 23
David's sense of direction made him a great leader. He often wandered from God's path, but he never lost his road map back home.
David was often in danger, but seldom in doubt of God's call on his life. When David's love for his God was in the driver's seat of his life he always returned to The One who called him.
Note to self: Don't let the intimidation of immediate circumstances and intense hatred of evil people crowd out your intimate time with God. In the battle against evil, Jesus is by your side. Move closer to Him when you have wandered away.
When David wandered, he blazed a trail back home with personal prayer & private praise to God. Follow his lead.
