In life, we are often searching for the destination that will bring us the most joy, the most relaxation, and overall the most comfort. However, we learn in the story of David. In 2 Samuel 11:1- That choosing comfort over obedience can lead to a devastating path. We do not need to fear the uncomfortable valleys because in life either we win or we learn. 

2 Samuel: 11:1-

The three points I want you to remember is

1. What is your definition of Winning? There is nothing or no one that can bring you joy like Christ. Your why has to be bigger than you, so we have to be willing to choose obedience over comfort!
2. Are I depending on God? - I believe God is often looking at us making decisions and wondering"At what point are you going to stop and ask me if this is a good idea?"

There were so many times David could have stopped and ask God a question.

• Should I call her?
• Should I sleep with her?
• Should I bring him home?
• Should I get him to sleep with her?
• Should I send him back to fight?

3. Am I following God’s plan or my plan - Have you ever had a vision for how something would turn out, but God had another plan, and it turned out so much better 

Today's lesson is a reminder for us to choose to see uncomfortable situations as birthing grounds for the purpose God has for us!
