Meditating The Word23 Touko 2023

Day 143: 2nd Samuel 24, 1st Chronicles 21-22 and Psalm 30

Today on Meditating the Word, David counts the fighting men, seventy thousand die by plague, David builds and altar, and preparations are made for the Temple.

This is Day 143. Today we are reading 2nd Samuel 24, 1st Chronicles 21 and 22 and Psalm 30

----

Father God, pride is such an ugly thing. When David asked that all of Israel be counted, it wasn't at your word or for your sake, but for his own glory. You let David choose his own punishment, and then you showed mercy and stopped the plague at his request. We thank you for your mercy, Father. We thank you for your favor which lasts a lifetime. We thank you that you have turned our mourning into dancing and clothed us with gladness. We give you all the praise. Amen
