Move On

And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab.... 2 Samuel 11:1

At the end of chapter 10 we see David devastating the Syrian armies and winning a great victory. Now we're about to see him make the biggest mistake of his life and create a mess that would follow him for the rest of his days. What took David from point A to point B? The answer is: nothing. Literally. As in, he SHOULD have been doing SOMEthing, but he wasn't. You see, David was riding the coattails of his last victory when he should have been out pursuing another...and he screwed up. We cannot get by on last year's victories. Yesterday's successes don't guarantee tomorrow's. Friend, don't get caught sitting back and resting on your laurels, trying to get by on what you did in the past; get out and win something new TODAY! If you're still alive, you still have something to do. And if you're not doing it, you're probably, like David did, setting yourself up for a major failure.
