And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. (KJV) ( 2 Samuel 24:10 )
He was a man after God's own heart, David, yet he was not immune to err! We are weak n fallible but our strength is made whole when we ask God to be our strength on a daily basis. We see David counting his men which was a logical way to measure the strength but his conscience pricked and realised his fault. In God's view, it was pride that blinded David (from remembering how God gave victory over Goliath using a sling n a stone ) that he took into his own hands the responsibility. In our lives it is easy to fall into such thoughts when we count our assets and attribute it as our own accomplishments. If we have anything in excess (be it peace, joy, or even material assets) let us not take pride in it(we must take pride in HIM) coz it is nothing but a result of God's love, grace, favour and generosity!! http://gthougts.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-daily-musings-by-geeba-benoie.html
