Day 91 | 2 Samuel 8–11 — More Mountaineers Die on the Way Down — David’s Success and His Fall with Bathsheba | Bible in a Year

Success is more dangerous than struggle, because it convinces you that you can't do wrong. David wins every battle, shows Jonathan's crippled son stunning loyalty, absorbs a national humiliation without retaliating — and then, at the exact height of it all, stays home from the one battle he should have led. From a rooftop, he sees Bathsheba. He wants her. And everything that follows is what happens when a man believes he's finally earned an exception.Here we consider pride, comfort, temptation, cover-up, and the summit that turns out to be the most dangerous place to stand.
