God’s Mercy
24. March 2010 by Bernice Davis.
Hello Everyone:
It’s spring here in Atlanta, and I think I have inherited my beloved mother’s sinus condition. Whoohhhhhhh…. GOD PLEASE HEAL THIS. I watched her suffer for years with this condition and the last past week, I felt like I was reliving a scene out of my childhood where I would hear her cough all night and hack and popping BC powders like it was crack.
I have had a miserable past week. I don’t know what it is about this year… I never get sick unless it is a sinus headache every now and then but the past couple of months have been something else.
Please keep me in your prayers… and if anyone knows some good home remedies for helping relieve sinus pressure, please send it to my email. I am currently taking Zyrtec D, Muncinex DM and on some antibiotics prescribed by my doctor for the ear infection that came along with it and some very strong cough medicine to help get rid of the nagging and very painful cough.
My ears feel like they are under water and the pressure feels like I’m on an airplane. I’m writing all of this because I know that some of you have probably suffered with chronic sinus problems and may have found some natural things that helped with relief of some of the symptoms so I would welcome your suggestions.
Today, we conclude the book of Samuel with David’s response to God after seeing the calamity that fell on his people for his sin of numbering the people.
Here is the text:
II Samuel 24:18 On that day Gad went to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” 19 So David went up, as the LORD had commanded through Gad. 20 When Araunah looked and saw the king and his men coming toward him, he went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground. 21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” “To buy your threshing floor,” David answered, “so I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped.” 22 Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take whatever pleases him and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and here are threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. 23 O king, Araunah gives all this to the king.” Araunah also said to him, “May the LORD your God accept you.” 24 But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekelsc of silver for them. 25 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.d Then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.
One of my my favorite parts in how this story ends is how David refused to accept the land for free for he said “he would not sacrifice to God burnt offerings that cost him nothing.”
David sacrificed to the Lord and David was right in his choice, the Lord had mercy and stopped the plague.
We will continue our journey on tomorrow. Again, I always like to say it every now and then; I thank you all for following me daily and studying God’s word with me.
Stay encouraged and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
