David’s fall did not begin with sin — it began with idleness.
When he should have gone to battle, he stayed back, became idle, and gave room for temptation. In the same way, when we waste time and do not guard our eyes, temptation can enter quietly. Job made a covenant with his eyes, but David did not. This short is a warning for all of us: stay watchful, stay disciplined, and guard your heart and eyes before temptation grows.
