It is frightening to think that we could love others but still inadvertently allow harm to come to them.
We must be mindful of the choices we make and the destruction that can come with those choices.
David was a man after God’s heart and the King of Israel. He had won so many conquests in war, trying to protect the people from surrounding cities that rose against them.
However, he never considered that an enemy force could rise within himself.
Often, we, as humans, get tempted to be prideful, as David did, and take matters into our own hands. Thinking we know how best to “handle” or “fix” things.
Today, I pray for myself and you. May our God, the God of hope and restoration, bring about the “fix” we need in His time and in His way. I ask this in Jesus’ precious name!
1 Chronicles 21:1 & 17
”Now Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.“
”And David said to God, “Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O Lord my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued.”
