S - 1 Samuel 11:1 In the spring of the year, when kings normally go out to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to fight the Ammonites. They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem.
O - This is the beginning of the story of David and Bathsheba. The whole reason why David was unfaithful and committed adultery at this time was that he wasn't at war when he should be.
A - I am no different than David, if I do what I am called to do, temptations will not be as prevelant. I can been called to do great things and lead people and by not doing these things, I am sitting around and that is when temptations are more prevelant. God can and will give me the strength and courage to go out and accomplish these things and even though there are times that I may not want to do what I'm called, once I'm out doing them I too am reinvigerated!
P - God, You are truly awesome. I come to you today and ask that you bless my thoughts, words, and actions and that you forgive me for the times that I have not done what I'm called to do. I pray that you give me strength and courage to do what I am supposed to do and the foresight to know that those feelings of laziness and procrastination are not from you but a lie and darkness from the pit of hell. I pray in the name of Jesus that these be bound and thrown out of my life and out of my house and family. Bless my family and me today.
