“But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (2Co 10:17)“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.” (Jer 9:24)

Lessons from David

I Chronicles 21-23

1. David was determined to have his own way.  He was provoked by Satan and yielded to the temptation.    Remember:  I Corinthians 10:13 - God will always make a way to escape.  There is no temptation so big that I cannot bear it!
2. David was encouraged by Joab not to number the people.  He was told he would be a "cause of trespass to Israel"  Ch. 21:9
3. Nevertheless he chose to sin.  The King's Word prevailed.  Remember:  God is the almighty King and His Word should always prevail.  If David had allowed God, the King, to let His Word prevail, he would have avoided God's judgment. Ch. 21:4
   
4. God was displeased with David's sin and all Israel suffered because of it.  Remember:  my sin affects many more than just myself!  Ch. 21:7
5. David did repent.  He admitted his sin and realized his foolishness.  but he still had to suffer the consequences. Ch. 21:9-10 Praise the Lord, He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from all iniquity.  But that does not mean I will never suffer the consequences of my sin.
6. David was allowed to choose his punishment.  Life is full of choices and decisions.  Even here he needed wisdom.  Remember:  I can give my children a choice in punishment, but it should be severe enough to make them realize, admit their sin, and not want to do it again.
7. David realized it would be better to fall into the hands of God and not the hands of man.  Ch. 21:3 *Hebrews 10:31  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. *Lamentations 3:22  It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. Praise the Lord for this!
8. God was merciful.  He stayed His hand. ch. 21:15
9. David realized God's holiness and mercy and fell on his face.  He realized it was his sin that caused the judgment.  Ch. 21:17  Remember:  Ask God to search my heart and see if there be any wicked way in me.  Confess my sin, repent, and worship.  Set up an altar unto the Lord!
10. Ornan was willing to give all for the Lord's work. Ch. 21:23  What an example for myself!
11. David was willling to pay the cost for the Lord's Work.  Ch. 21:24  What another great example for myself.  I should be willing to do both.
12. David once again feared the Lord.  Ch. 21:30   Proverbs 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

“But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (2Co 10:17)“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.” (Jer 9:24)

Will You Be Visiting Zacchaeus?

W.C.'s grandpa is getting ready to go to Israel for a few weeks.  W. C. asked his grandpa, "Will you be visiting with Zacchaeus when you are there? 

So Cute!

W. C. was told that Zacchaeus was now in heaven and may even be talking to his grandpa C. who is also in heaven. 

How exciting to know that we will be able to meet all the Bible characters that we read about!






“But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (2Co 10:17)“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.” (Jer 9:24)
