I am my own worst enemy! Have you ever felt that way about yourself? Maybe in one of those moments when you end up somewhere you really don't want to be because you've done something you really didn't want to do, but you did it anyway.

We all have moments when we realize that we are solely responsible for a decision that we've made. But we're not alone. As we conclude our look at David in 1 & 2 Samuel, we'll talk about one more lesson from the Great King that might just be helpful.
