Forgetting what got you where you are at can almost be as bad as a famous general forgetting a famous former First Lady.
One shunned a crown. Then one worked with those he knew were stabbing him in the back. Another looked out for the country over himself. Each was an example of the type of leadership we need now.
“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 KJV

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” I Corinthians 9: 24 KJV
The future President told him he really appreciated his competitiveness, but maybe when they played a team of locals, they could dial it back a little bit. He knew it was just a matter of time before his enemies would be taunting him because of his defeat and then he would have his life taken from him by them. Who can’t think of the word horse without thinking of basketball?
“And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.” I Samuel 16:12 KJV

I think he also thought, just as an egg is fragile, the world would come crashing down on our lives once our innocence got corrupted. The tower radioed back, “Sir, we’ve just received word about a shooting in Washington. There is no indication the President has been hit. Word is that two agents are down. That’s all we have right now. But I’m going to make some calls and see if I can get some more information.” The punishment for these alleged spies was designed to send a clear message back to Israel: “We’re not stupid. You can’t fool us. If you send us others, they will be treated the same way.”
“Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.” Isaiah 56:11 KJV
There was once a farmer who grew carrots. It all caught the notice of a little rabbit who happened to hop to the forest’s edge. Nabal has so many sheep. Our horseman loved a good cigar.
“Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.” Job 34:2 KJV
Ask for anything you want and it will be given to you. Life is full of those times when we forget the wisdom that got us where we are.
“And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.” II Samuel 12:17 KJV
She even did the unwomanly thing and let me keep the toilet seat up in the downstairs bathroom. These two sons loved to play tennis at the White House. Instead of being the hands on commander that got him there, he decided to become a stay-in-the-castle type king.
