Summer Playlist: From Now On
from All Things New with Jeff Ackenback Hosted by Jeff Ackenback
Many of you have heard of David (as in David vs. Goliath) and know a little about his life. Something that is sometimes overlooked, though, is that once he was king, David messed up royally. He stole the wife of another man...who was fighting a war in David's army...then conspired to kill that man, in order to cover up his crime and keep the wife for himself. Doesn't match up too well with the David from the "and Goliath" story, right? Well, even though he did awful things and covered them up, once he was confronted, he admitted his wrongdoing and did what he could to make amends. I get it...he should have admitted it before he was confronted, but the point is...eventually he stopped hiding. It's easy to mess up, to hurt someone...to do something bad, and then just push it down and run away. Eventually, though, the truth comes out, so it's best to just be straight up at all times. Learn from your mistakes, as well as the mistakes of others, and do what you can to always be better the today than you were yesterday.
