In the course of time, war broke out....(20:4). It seems that the Israeli history is all about war. All through the Bible we continue to see battle after battle after battle. Finally, in chapter 22, we see, at least, a little time of peace. Using this precious commodity, David decides to build the Temple that his father never got off the ground. See God? Peace IS a good thing. Why can't we have that world wide today? WHY must there always be wars and 'rumors of war'? Please, O God, let there be peace in the world today. THAT'S my prayer for today.
I also found it very interesting that the writer in chapter 21 stated that 'Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel." Coincidentally, I completed OUR census yesterday and mailed it in. Has Obama been 'incited by Satan' to conduct a census? Is the purpose of a census evil? Some times I think the purpose of a democratic presidency is evil. All this talk about health care, oops, GOVERNMENT healthcare, has brought out the evil in many people. Yesterday there were shootings into democratic offices. Luckily no one was hurt, but evil IS being brought out. Will the census do the same thing? Will there be cheating and conniving on how to count people, re-district cities and states, and how monies are then distributed from the US Government? OH absolutely. As sure as war was a sure think during the OT times (as well as in ALL of our history and present day lives), evil will continue to thrive.
A second prayer for today is almost as succint as my first. O God, get rid of evil in all men's (and women's) hearts. I KNOW You can do it.
