Day 122: Chronological Bible in One Year Devotion:
In a moment of pride, David ordered a census of Israel, relying on numbers rather than trusting in God's strength. This act displeased the Lord, bringing judgment upon the nation. David, however, responded with deep repentance and took responsibility. His heart was broken not just by the consequence, but by the thought of others suffering for his actions. - 2 Samuel 24.
When offered a free threshing floor to build an altar and stop the plague, David refused. He insisted on paying the full price, declaring he would not offer to the Lord that which cost him nothing. This principle is a timeless call to sincere sacrifice. Our worship, service, and obedience should carry the weight of our devotion. - 1 Chronicles 21.
From this very place—Mount Moriah—David prepared for the temple his son Solomon would build. Though David couldn’t construct the house of God himself, he poured his heart into preparation. He gathered materials, gave generously, and set Solomon up to succeed. 1 Chronicles 22.
This devotion reminds us that while our mistakes have consequences, sincere repentance and sacrificial obedience can turn judgment into worship. God honors the heart that gives deeply, worships sincerely, and prepares others to walk in His will.
Prayer: Lord, help me to obey You with a willing heart and give You offerings that reflect true sacrifice. May I repent sincerely when I fall, and prepare faithfully for what You desire to build through me and others. Let my life be a testimony of obedience and honor to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
