Yeah, just to give an example of kind of what I said earlier and what we're talking about now and on Zach's point is the point I'm trying to make is I think that
David was in God's plan and knew he was, God had a plan for him and he was doing that.
And so he didn't hold himself accountable in the same way.
Like I, what I took from this is thinking about like my job at camp.
So, you know, I run Camp Chioka, Christian summer camp.
I feel like that's exactly where God has me.
He's placed me there.
He's behind me.
He's put me in charge of that for a reason.
And so,
the temptation for myself and any, I think any leader of any organization ever is saying, oh, because I'm in charge, I can do whatever I want.
But just because God's placed me as the leader, it doesn't mean every action is a good action.
I still have to hold myself accountable and to say, okay, now he's put me in this place, what's the next right step here?
Where David just completely abandoned that
and stopped holding himself accountable.
And the people around him, except for Nathan, stopped holding him accountable for his actions.
No, I think the same thing.
I think...
looking at David's life in these chapters in 1 and 2 Samuel as just like a story.
I mean, I read, we've talked about this.
