In 2 Samuel 24, we find another interesting moment in the life of King

David. The “Cliff Notes” version goes like this; David sent his men throughout the country to count every able-bodied fighting man. He wanted to know how much human force he could rely upon in the event of yet another military conflict. This task took over 9 months to complete, and when they finished, David knew that he had made a terrible mistake. Even now, late in life, David looked to his own power instead of leaning on the never-ending authority and supremacy of God; a lesson we all need to learn. So David confessed his sin and asked for forgiveness. However, God is just and sent His prophet to the King. The prophet Gad gave him three choices; a 3 year famine, an army pursuing him, or a plague on the people. He simply asked for mercy wanting God to choose. God sent the plague and David cried out to the Lord and decided to build an alter to Him. One of the people living in the land offered his threshing floor to the King but David answered, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” David built the altar,

made sacrifices, and the Lord healed the land. Three lessons: God is in control and we bring nothing to the table. When you mess up, fess up, and finally, there is always a price paid for sin.

Dios quiere ayudarte El Señor te

librará de todo mal; el Señor protegerá tu

vida. Salmos 121:7 ¿Con quién cuentas cuando estás

pasando por un momento difícil? En esos

momentos es cuando conocemos quiénes son

nuestros verdaderos amigos. Dios, a su manera y a

su tiempo, aleja de nosotros el sufrimiento que nos

aflige. Por lo tanto, necesitamos confiar en él,

porque él es siempre nuestro amigo fiel y nuestra

ayuda en todo momento. ¿Dudas de eso? Mira a la

cruz. ¿Sabes que ella representa la muerte de Cristo

para librarte del sufrimiento de la muerte eterna? La

cruz es la prueba de que Dios quiere y puede

ayudarte. Entonces, no trates de solucionar todo

por ti mismo. Permite que Dios, en Cristo, te

ayude.Cuando Dios te cuida y te protégé debes ser

agradecido y acercarte a adorarle no alejarte. No

busque su rostro donde no lo hay. Se agradecido,

no pienses en tus planes o tus deseos busca a Dios

, el es fiel contigo.
