The Choice

Hello Everyone:   

 

In our story today, We learn the choice that David makes concerning the punishment he will receive for his sin of numbering the people. 

Here is our story: 

II Samuel 24: 14 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.” 15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. 16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the Lord, “I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall upon me and my family.” 

Tomorrow, we will see David’s response to God as to what happened to the people. 

Still feeling a little under the weather, that’s why they have been so short the last couple of days. 

 

Stay encouraged and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
