Mid-Eastern Tales 3

Mid-Eastern Tales 3 Curtis Johnson Long, long ago, before the Super Bowl, popcorn, and potato chips; Yes, long ago, there lived a king in the Middle East. His name was David, a very God fearing man, and also a military general of the highest order. He was loyal to his God, his country, and his soldiers. He also became his nation’s greatest hero of all times. He was a gifted musician and a psalmist. He was fearless and strong, but a sexual weakness changed the course of his entire life and family. Lastly, one other error in judgment aroused his God’s displeasure. Because of his mistake, King David was compelled to make a choice of evils. Indeed, none of the choices presented to him were good ones. Sometimes, we are also placed in situations, either by self, others, or God. In those often complicated and convoluted situations, we are forced to choose. There are no exit signs or ways of escape to take flight. The choice is not one of delight. However, responsibility demands that we choose. 10232016 cj Bible, 1&2 Samuel
