You can lose focus on the Lord in any season of life, but be especially alert during successful days.

When that happens, other sinful choices will follow.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 5:11-16 with 12-13 as the focal verses.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">11 Then King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar timber and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built David a palace. 12 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel and had blessed his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.</p> <p class="p3">13 After moving from Hebron to Jerusalem, David married more concubines and wives, and they had more sons and daughters. 14 These are the names of David’s sons who were born in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">“Stay alert!
