Have you ever thought about how King David could be so undisciplined?

How he could go from killing lions and killing giants to sleeping with his best friend's wife and cheating on his own wife?

What happened?

He's this huge, successful, decorated warrior, and then all of a sudden he's cheating he loves God and then all of a

sudden all that gets done out the window with Besheba well the answer is in 2nd Samuel

chapter 11 the first verse this is the chapter where he cheats in the first verse verse, it says, in the spring of the following year,

at the time when wars began. Another translation says, in the spring, when kings go to war,

what is David? A king. What time is it? Spring. What are they doing the spring? They go to war.

Where is David? At home.

He became undisciplined because he had too much time on his hands.

He should have been at war.

Young man, you need to be at war.

If you have too much time on your hands, you will become undisciplined. The reason why we don't have discipline is because we have too much time on our hands.

We need to pursue things that are going to take away our time.

But Alex, you always talk about how we need to live a simple life and have more time for the things that are important in life.

Yes.

But true freedom is being able to do the right thing.

True freedom is not being able to do whatever you want.

True freedom isn't being able to say, I can do that, I can do this, I can go there, I can

play this, I can partake in this. That's not true freedom. True freedom is being able to do the

right thing at the right time. Left to our own devices, left to our own flesh, we will not decide

to do the right thing. We'll decide to do the thing that feels good. And that's not freedom. That's slavery.
