Sometimes we just want enough Jesus to be safe and feel good, but not enough to reach our potential. Sometimes we want to focus on the sweet, pithy Scriptures instead of wrestling with the stuff in the valleys and gaps between the victories. Reading First Samuel in its entirety shows us the times King David had to exercise self-control and deal with some things that stunk. It also can inspire us to endure and be more like Christ.
