There’s a certain kind of momentum that builds when we allow temptation to sit unchecked in our lives. It starts small. A skipped boundary. A quiet compromise. A moment of indulgence you brush off as “no big deal.” But left alone, it grows. Like a train picking up speed on broken tracks, it’s only a matter of time before everything crashes.

So, when we read stories like Mephibosheth’s, we’re not just reading history. We’re reading ourselves into the story. And here’s the truth: we’re not David. We’re Mephibosheth.

With a sincere heart, David turns to the prophet Nathan and says, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.” David wants to honor God. He wants to build a temple—something permanent and worthy.

What if, with God, waiting is active—even productive? What if this season that feels like nothing is happening is exactly when God is doing His most important work in your life?
This idea isn’t just spiritual optimism. It’s grounded in the experience of faithful men and women throughout Scripture—and in the real-life stories of believers today.

But at the root of these choices lies a single, powerful question: Am I living God’s way, or am I living my way? This question might seem simple at first glance, but it carries enormous weight. The path we choose influences our peace, our purpose, and even our legacy.

But Jesus doesn’t work by the world’s math. In Luke 15, He tells a story that flips our assumptions and invites us into the radical value system of the Kingdom of God—where one lost soul is worth turning the house upside down.

This is exactly what history and Scripture teach us, and it’s what continues to play out in the lives of believers today.

For those following Jesus, it becomes even more pointed: If God is good, why is there so much suffering? The Christian response to this dilemma is unique.
