Oh No


David messes up again. I’m not 100% sure why counting your fighting men would be considered a sin, unless it is an issue of pride. Consequently, he has to decide from three options how he will suffer because of his sin. David chooses the plague in hopes that God will show mercy. It’s interesting that the bible says that an angel was causing the plague. Also, I love that David was not willing to make a sacrifice that costs him nothing. How much would you sacrifice for God?

The story of Peter and John healing the crippled man is powerful. The crippled man asked for silver and gold, but got a healing instead. He was so excited that he did not want to let go of John and Peter.  Peter gives all the praise to God. He says that it was not his (Peter’s) righteousness that healed the man, but God. God can heal even if we are not righteous. How has God healed you? Is it a physical healing, emotional, or mental?

My prayer today is that God will fill me with his power. I pray for strength and courage to share his love with others.
