Today: [2 Samuel Chapter Eleven]: Never Let Down Your Guard. In this chapter David stays behind while his armies go out to war. As a result David eyes Bathsheba on a nearby rooftop and the events which ensue lead to adultery, murder and eventually civil war. David that night on his rooftop no doubt had let down his guard. His thoughts were anywhere but on the kingdom. We often make room in our lives for seasons of laxity and rest yet there is never a time that we should allow our guard to be let down so much that we open ourselves to disaster.
