And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are His mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. — 1 Chronicles 21:13
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. — Jeremiah 33:15
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. — Acts 11:18
But the word of God grew and multiplied. — Acts 12:24

That account in Acts 11 was very moving.
And I’m not sure if I fully understand David’s sin in taking a census.
Do you have a thought about it that could help me understand the matter a little better?

You know how I am Brother :) I am not the knower of all things Bible, and I always read it and thought wow, seems harsh for doing some counting, right? But if I had to guess it is because it was the Devils idea, and David followed it. It wasn’t God’s idea, or even David’s but satans idea.
The reason I say this is because the only reason David wanted to number the people was because the devil had planted the seed for the numbering. David obeyed.
My reference for this is the first verse in 1 Chronicles 21, “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”
But you ask God and see what you get. Don’t rely on me :):) LORD, thank You for Brother Lee, and thank You for continuing to bless him :):)
