19 Too High-Too Fast - Facing Your Giants (MP3)

Listen to a Sample

You can get too high in life... too high for your own good. Granted, height has its charms. Crisp air. Breathtaking vistas. Who doesn't enjoy feeling higher than others? Yet, the air that is crisp is also thin. Linger too long at high altitudes and two of your senses will suffer. Your hearing will dull. It's hard to hear people when you are higher than they are. And, when you are up there, it's hard to see people. They appear so small. They all look alike. You don't hear them. You don't see them. You are above them. Which is exactly where David was.

2 Samuel 11

I. David at His Highest
II. David at His Lowest
III. Come down before you fall.    
  a. Have an honest assessment of yourself.
  b. Ponder your fame and count your money in a cemetery.
  c. Celebrate the significance of others.
  d. In a feast, take the lowest place.
  e. Never announce your success before it occurs.
