God's Promises, Our Patience

As followers of Christ there is a strong desire to do the right thing. We want to follow Jesus and to combat the evil that we see around us. The temptation though is to fall into a pattern where the ends justify the means. David had a strong desire to serve God but that desire led him to act without consulting the Lord. When we act for God without FOLLOWING God, we, like David, can find ourselves guilty of doing the right thing but going about it the wrong way.
