22 The Priority You Can't Neglect - Facing Your Giants (MP3)

Listen to a Sample

David seems older even than his sixty-plus years. He struggles to place one foot in front of the other. He pauses often. Partly because the hill is steep. Partly because he needs to weep. This is the longest walk of his life. Longer than the path between the creek side and Goliath. Longer than the winding road from fugitive to king. Those trails bore some steep turns, but none compare with the ascent up the Mt. of Olives. Look carefully and you'll find the cause of David's tears. He wears no crown. His son, Absalom, took it by force. David has no home. Those walls rising to his back belong to the city of Jerusalem. He flees the capitol he founded and he does so with no family. He has at least eight wives and over twenty children, but not one walks with him.
