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 :):)
