I was watching a special on Samurais on the history channel. One adage caught my ear, "After victory, tighten your helmet cords."
King David came to mind when I heard this. He staid home when it was time for kings to go to war. He felt he deserved a break. He was successful. He defeated his enemies. He trained his commanders. He went to his roof top to gaze over Jerusalem and admire his accomplishments, and noticed a bathing Bathseba. He fell, he lusted, he committed adultery, he lied, and he murdered. Although he received forgiveness from God, his family was forever affected by this transgression. After victory, tighten your helmet cords.
