I am hoping to write a recap of this past week's readings some time this week. I am still pondering 2 Samuel 24 and looking through some commentaries to maybe answer some questions that I have about that particular chapter. If you have any thoughts, please let me know.
Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census of Israel and Judah."So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, "Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are."But Joab replied to the king, "May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?"The king's word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel.

If only Americans would think of the eyes of the Lord being on us as a nation and quite possibly that His anger may burn against us...
